euchrestos describes someone or something suited for a master’s work, service, or benefit.

The attested use describes being suited for use by someone: a cleansed vessel prepared for good work, a person beneficial for service, and someone now beneficial to two people after formerly being unprofitable.

   In 2 Timothy 2:21, the nominative neuter form describes a cleansed vessel prepared for every good work; the APB renders the clause “useful to the master.” In 2 Timothy 4:11, the nominative masculine form concerns someone brought for service, while Philemon 1:11 uses the accusative masculine form in a contrast between being once “useless” and now “useful” to two people.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “useful” in all three verses, in contexts of a master’s work, service, and benefit to particular people. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
