πλοῦτος, 
πλούτου, 
ὁ, and (according to 
L T Tr WH in 
2 Corinthians 8:2; 
Ephesians 1:7; 
Ephesians 2:7; 
Ephesians 3:8, 
16; 
Philippians 4:19; 
Colossians 1:27; 
Colossians 2:2, but only in the nominative and accusative; cf. (
Tdf. Proleg., p. 118; 
WHs Appendix, p. 158); 
Winers Grammar, 65 (64); 
Buttmann, 22f (20)) 
τό πλοῦτος (apparently equivalent to 
πλεοτος, from 
πλέος full (cf. 
πίμπλημι)), from 
Homer down, the 
Sept. for 
עֹשֶׁר, and also for 
הָמון, a multitude, 
חַיִל, 
הול; 
riches, wealth; 
a. properly, and absolutely, 
abundance of external possessions: 
Matthew 13:22; 
Mark 4:19; 
Luke 8:14; 
1 Timothy 6:17; 
James 5:2; 
Revelation 18:17 (16). 
b. universally, 
fullness, abundance, plenitude: with a genitive of the excellence in which one abounds, as 
τῆς χρηστότητος, 
Romans 2:4; 
Romans 9:23; 
2 Corinthians 8:2; 
Ephesians 1:7, 
18; 
Ephesians 2:7; 
Ephesians 3:16; 
Colossians 1:21; 
Colossians 2:2. the 
πλοῦτος of God is extolled, i. e. the fullness of his perfections — of which two are mentioned, viz. 
σοφία and 
γνῶσις, 
Romans 11:33 (for 
σοφίας καί γνώσεως here depend on 
βάθος, not on 
πλούτου (cf. B. 155 (135); 
Winer's Grammar, § 30, 3 N. 1)); the fullness of all things in store for God's uses, 
Philippians 4:19; in the same sense 
πλοῦτος is attributed to Christ, exalted at the right hand of God, 
Revelation 5:12; in a more restricted sense, 
πλοῦτος τοῦ Χριστοῦ is used of the fullness of the things pertaining to salvation with which Christ is able to enrich others, 
Ephesians 3:8. 
c. universally equivalent to 
a good ((to point an antithesis)): 
Hebrews 11:26; equivalent to 
that with which one is enriched, with a genitive of the person enriched, used of Christian salvation, 
Romans 11:12.
