2735 κατόρθωμα katorthoma [kat-or’-tho-mah] from a compound of 2596 and a derivative of 3717 [cf 1357]; n n; AV-very worthy deed 1; 1

1) a right action, a successful achievement

1a) of wholesome public measures or institutions

Kathēkonta are contrasted, in Stoic ethics, with katorthōma. Kathēkon is a Greek concept, forged by the founder of Stoicism, Zeno of Citium. It may be translated as "appropriate behaviour", "befitting actions", or "convenient action for nature", or also "proper function". Kathekon was translated in Latin by Cicero as officium, and by Seneca as convenentia. Whatever the sages of Stoicism would do is what a human being should do as a right action (katorthoma), which is obedient to nature which is the primary sense of kathēkon. To Christianize the Stoic katorthoma, which is a duty of everyman, we must fulfill that duty with fervent charity as opposed to legal charity which feeds not the humility of the soul through daily sacrifice and love but degenerates the soul of the masses and their tyrants.
