Transliteration: epidechomai
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-dekh'-om-ahee)
Short Definition: I accept, admit, welcome
Definition: I accept, admit, welcome.
1926 epidéxomai (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" and 1325/dexomai, " welcome") – properly, receive (welcome) upon, emphasizing what naturally builds on the welcoming (note the prefix epi, upon). 1926/epidéxomai ("welcoming with its effects") is negated both times it occurs in the NT (3 Jn 9,10). This envisions all the "nasty spin-offs" that went with Diotrephes refusing to "aptly welcome" people into his local church. [1926 (epidéxomai) is an intensified form of 1325/dexomai ("welcome, receive").] Word Origin
from epi and dechomai
Definition
