plousios marks provision, pouring out, indwelling, or entrance as occurring in abundance.

Across the supplied verses, the adverb qualifies actions or states as occurring in abundance: God provides and pours out, Christ’s word dwells, and entrance is supplied.

Senses in use

  1. In abundance or full measure · dominant

    The adverb appears with provision and giving in 1 Timothy 6:17 and Titus 3:6: the APB renders God as providing “richly” and an outpouring as “richly.” It also qualifies the word of Christ dwelling in Colossians 3:16 and entrance being supplied in 2 Peter 1:11; the APB renders both clauses with “richly.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “richly” in each supplied verse, attached to providing, supplying, dwelling, and pouring out. These renderings confirm the clauses’ broad presentation rather than isolate a separate English equivalent in each case.
