Euangelion is the proclaimed message received in faith, announced publicly, and held as the basis for allegiance and conduct.

The term consistently denotes a message that is proclaimed and heard, received and stood in, entrusted to speakers, and treated as a truth to be believed, obeyed, or not abandoned. Its clauses also present it as the message associated with God, Christ, salvation, grace, peace, and hope.

1. The proclaimed message and its received truth · dominant

   Across the verses, the noun names the message announced to others: in Mark 16:15 the APB renders the command to preach it to all creation, and in 1 Thessalonians 2:9 it renders its proclamation while the speakers worked not to burden their hearers. In 1 Corinthians 15:1, the accusative singular occurs in the message Paul proclaimed, which the hearers received and in which they stand; Galatians 2:5 similarly speaks of its truth continuing with them. The same message can be believed, as in Mark 1:15, or disobeyed, as in 2 Thessalonians 1:8.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the noun as “gospel” in clauses about preaching, hearing, receiving, believing, obeying, and standing in it. These English clauses confirm the verse-level presentation rather than supplying separate lexical meanings.
