Definition: The Hebrew word for "agreeably" is "וּשְׁבַר". It means "to behave politely or courteously." In the Bible, it occurs in context when describing a person's conduct: 1. The Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 29:8) said to his disciples, "Be well-behaved as you are at home, for I will come upon you in time and show your father the glory of God." This verse describes the manner in which one should act when they are living among God's people. 2. Paul wrote to the Philippians (Philippians 4:8-9) about his "goodness" towards others, saying: "For I do not need anything from you except that you may take care of yourselves. For by so doing you will be blessed; for my Father makes no provision for you." 3. In Psalm 116:10-12, God gives the Psalmist a list of characteristics and virtues he should emulate when living in His presence: "Seek goodly deeds, and do them not, but do evilly also; and seek goodly words, and do not speak them, for they bring trouble to you. Seek wise counsel and do not listen to fools. Seek wisdom by understanding the statutes and judgments of Israel." In summary, "agreeably" describes a manner in which one behaves towards others in a respectful or considerate manner, much like living under the care of God's family.
