Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ (WH (see Iota)), (ας, ἡ, a course of right action, well-doing: ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ, 1Pe 4:19 equivalent to ἀγαθοποιοῦντες acting uprightly (cf. xii. Patr. Jos. § 18); if we read here with L Tr marginal reading ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐαις we must understand it of single acts of rectitude (cf. Winers grammar, § 27, 3; Buttmann, § 123, 2). (In ecclesiastical writings ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ denotes beneficence.)
