Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2570 Greek: kalos

Well (Adverb):

"finely" (akin to kalos, "good, fair"), is usually translated "well," indicating what is done rightly; in the Epistles it is most frequent in 1 Tim (1Ti 3:4, 12, 13; 5:17); twice it is used as an exclamation of approval, Mar 12:32; Rom 11:20; the comparative degree kallion, "very well," occurs in Act 25:10.
See GOOD, C, No. 1.

Note: The neuter form of the adjective kalos, with the article and the present participle of poieo, "to do," is translated "well-doing" in Gal 6:9.

2 Strong's Number: g2095 Greek: eu

Well (Adverb):

primarily the neuter of an old word, eus, "noble, good," is used

(a) with verbs, e.g., Mar 14:7, "do (poieo)... good;" Act 15:29 (prasso); Eph 6:3 (ginomai, "to be");

(b) in replies, "good," "well done," Mat 25:21, 23; in Luk 19:17, eu ge (in the best texts). The word is the opposite of kakos, "evilly."
See GOOD, C, No. 2.

Notes:

(1) In 2Ti 1:18, beltion, the neuter form of what is used as the comparative degree of agathos, "good," is used adverbially and translated "very well."

(2) For Jhn 2:10, "have well drunk" (RV, "freely"), see DRINK, B, No. 2.

(3) Hos, "as," with kai, "also (and)," is rendered "as well as" in Act 10:47 (kathos in some mss.); 1Cr 9:5.

(4) In Hbr 4:2 kathaper, "even as," with kai, is translated "as well as:" see EVEN, No. 8.
