G0553–ἀπεκδέχομαι–apekdechomai

For all creation, gazing eagerly as if with outstretched neck, is waiting and longing to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

ἀπεκδέχεται· apekdechetai “awaits;”

And more than that, we ourselves, though we possess the Spirit as a foretaste and pledge of the glorious future, yet we ourselves inwardly sigh, as we wait and long for open recognition as sons through the deliverance of our bodies.

ἀπεκδεχόμενοι, apekdechomenoi “awaiting,”

But if we hope for something which we do not see, then we eagerly and patiently wait for it.

ἀπεκδεχόμεθα. apekdechometha “we await.”

so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

ἀπεκδεχομένους apekdechomenous “eagerly awaiting”

*We* have not, for through the Spirit we wait with longing hope for an acceptance with God which is to come through faith.

ἀπεκδεχόμεθα. apekdechometha “eagerly await.”

We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

ἀπεκδεχόμεθα apekdechometha “we are awaiting”

so the Christ also, having been once offered in sacrifice in order that He might bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, separated from sin, to those who are eagerly expecting Him, to make their salvation complete.

ἀπεκδεχομένοις apekdechomenois “awaiting”

who in ancient times had been disobedient, while God's longsuffering was patiently waiting in the days of Noah during the building of the Ark, in which a few persons--eight in number--were brought safely through the water.

ἀπεξεδέχετο apexedecheto “he was expecting”
