signifies “to accept,” by a deliberate and ready reception of what is offered (cp. No. 4), e.g., 1Th 2:13<\/span>, RV, “accepted;” 2Co 8:17<\/span>; 2Co 11:4<\/span>. See RECEIVE, TAKE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n consisting of apo, “from,” intensive, and No. 1, expresses dechomai more strongly, signifying “to receive heartily, to welcome,” Luk 8:40<\/span> (RV, “welcomed,” AV, “gladly received”); Act 2:41<\/span>; Act 18:27<\/span>; Act 24:3<\/span>; Act 28:30<\/span>. See RECEIVE, WELCOME. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n pros, “to,” and No. 1, “to accept favorably, or receive to oneself,” is used of things future, in the sense of expecting; with the meaning of “accepting,” it is used negatively in Heb 11:35<\/span>, “not accepting their deliverance;” of receiving, e.g., Luk 15:2<\/span>; Rom 16:2<\/span>; Phi 2:29<\/span>. See ALLOW, LOOK (for), RECEIVE, TAKE, WAIT. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n almost synonymous with dechomai, is distinct from it, in that it sometimes means “to receive as merely a self-prompted action,” without necessarily signifying a favorable reception, Gal 2:6<\/span>. See ATTAIN, CALL, CATCH, HAVE, HOLD, OBTAIN, RECEIVE, TAKE. <\/p>\n Note: The verb charitoo, “to make acceptable,” is translated “made accepted,” in Eph 1:6<\/span>, AV; RV, “freely bestowed.” <\/p>\n *The following adjectives are translated “acceptable,” or in some cases “accepted.” The R.V. more frequently adopts the former rendering. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n akin to No. 1, denotes “a person or thing who has been regarded favorably,” Luk 4:19<\/span>, Luk 4:24<\/span>; Act 10:35<\/span>; 2Co 6:2<\/span> (in this verse No. 3 is used in the second place); Phi 4:18<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a strengthened form of No. 1 (apo, “from,” used intensively), signifies “acceptable,” in the sense of what is pleasing and welcome, 1Ti 2:3<\/span>; 1Ti 5:4<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a still stronger form of No. 1, signifies a “very favorable acceptance” (eu, “well,” pros, “towards,” No. 1), Rom 15:16<\/span>, Rom 15:31<\/span>; 2Co 6:2<\/span>; 2Co 8:12<\/span>; 1Pe 2:5<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n eu, “well,” arestos, “pleasing,” is rendered “acceptable,” in the AV of Rom 12:1-2<\/span>; Rom 14:18<\/span>; in 2Co 5:9<\/span>, “accepted;” Eph 5:10<\/span>. The RV usually has “well-pleasing;” so AV and RV in Phi 4:18<\/span>; Col 3:20<\/span>; in Tit 2:9<\/span>, “please well,” AV; Heb 13:21<\/span>. See PLEASING. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n corresponding to B, No. 4, is used in Heb 12:28<\/span>, “so as to please.” See PLEASE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n akin to B, No. 2, signifies “worthy to be received with approbation, acceptation,” 1Ti 1:15<\/span>; 1Ti 4:9<\/span>. The phrase in 1Ti 1:15<\/span> is found in a writing in the 1st century expressing appreciation of a gift from a princess. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “grace,” indicating favor on the part of the giver, “thanks” on the part of the receiver, is rendered “acceptable” in 1Pe 2:19-20<\/span>. See margin. See BENEFIT, FAVOR, GRACE, LIBERALITY, PLEASURE, THANK. <\/p>\n Accept, Accepted, Acceptable signifies “to accept,” by a deliberate and ready reception of what is offered (cp. No. 4), e.g., 1Th 2:13, RV, “accepted;” 2Co 8:17; 2Co 11:4. See RECEIVE, TAKE. consisting of apo, “from,” intensive, and No. 1, expresses dechomai more strongly, signifying “to receive heartily, to welcome,” Luk 8:40 (RV, “welcomed,” AV, “gladly … Continue reading “Accept, Accepted, Acceptable”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15133\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
