Spanish

dar gracias

English (Strong)

English (Thayer)

εὐχαριστῶ; 1st aorist ἐυχαρίστησα (ἠυχαρίστησα (G L T Tr WH; see references in εὐδοκέω, at the beginning); 1st aorist passive subjunctive 3rd person singular εὐχαριστηθῇ (εὐχάριστος, which see);
1. to be grateful, feel thankful; so in the decree of the Byzantines in Demosthenes pro cor., p. 257,2.
2. to give thanks (so Posid. quoted in Athen. 5, p. 213e.; Polybius, Diodorus, Philo, Josephus, Plutarch, Epictetus, others; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 18 (Winer's Grammar, 23 (22))): τίνι, especially τῷ Θεῷ, ἵνα ... ὑπέρ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὁ Θεός ἐυχαρίστηται, Philo, quis rer. div. her. § 36). simply, so that τῷ Θεῷ must be added mentally: εὐχαριστεῖν τῷ Θεῷ διά Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, through Christ i. e. by Christ's help (because both the favors for which thanks are given and the gratitude which prompts the thanks are due to Christ (cf. Winer's Grammar, 378 (354) note)): R WH marginal reading; τῷ Θεῷ ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ (see ὄνομα, 2c.), περί τίνος, the genitive of person, concerning, with regard to one (ὅτι added epexegetically, R G ὑπέρ); ἐπί and the dative of the thing for, on account of, which, ὑπέρ τίνος, the genitive of person, ὑπέρ with the genitive of the thing, for, on account of, ὅτι: ὅτι, λαλῶ L T Tr WH, for which R G λαλῶν, the participle declaring the cause which prompts to thanksgiving (Winer s Grammar, 345f (324); Buttmann, 300 (258))). Once εὐχαριστεῖν τί, for a thing, in the passage Buttmann, 148 (130); Winer's Grammar, 222 (209)); in the Fathers εὐχαριστεῖν τί is "to consecrate a thing by giving thanks, to 'bless'": ὁ ἐυχαριστηθεις ἄρτος καί οἶνος, Justin Martyr, Apology 1,65 at the end; ἐυχαριστηθεισα τροφή, ibid.
c. 66; εἰσιν οἱ ἐυχαριστουσι ψιλον ὕδωρ, Clement of Alexandria, strom. i., p. 317, Sylb. edition; (cf. Suicer, Thesaurus i., 1269. "The words εὐχάριστος, εὐχαριστεῖν, εὐχαριστία, occur in St. Paul's writings alone of the apostolic Epistles" (Lightfoot; cf. Ellicott on Colossians 1:12)).
