What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
καλός primarily describes outward beauty or fair appearance — attractiveness of form and appearance rather than of inner essence 1, as of a beautiful person or an object impressive to look at, such as costly stones 13. Dodson's gloss for the word begins with "beautiful" 4.
It also covers a second, related sense: something good in the sense of being well suited to its use or purpose, good of its kind or fine in quality 123. This use appears with a wide range of nouns — fish, seed, fruit, trees, soil, salt, a measure, a law, teaching, a conscience, a trust committed to someone, a foundation, a pearl, wine, a shepherd, a servant, a steward, a soldier, a contest, a confession, and works — things called "good" because they fulfil their function well 1. Strong's frames this as goodness measured by value or usefulness, for outward form or practical use, rather than a quality belonging to a thing by its own inner nature 2.
Thirdly, the word carries a moral sense: right, noble, honorable, worthy conduct or character 1234 — used of good works, right conduct, a good conscience, a good name, a good testimony, and similar moral qualities 1.
