G1209–δέχομαι–dechomai

Now when the Apostles at Jerusalem had news that the people of Samaria had taken the word of God into their hearts, they sent to them Peter and John;

δέδεκται dedektai “has received”

Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

ἐδέξαντο edexanto “received”

Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

ἐδέξαντο edexanto “received”

Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

δεξάμενος dexamenos “having received”

And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about you.

ἐδεξάμεθα edexametha “received”

For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

δέχεται dechetai “accepts”

We then, working together with God, make our request to you not to take the grace of God to no purpose.

δέξασθαι dexasthai “to receive”

And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

ἐδέξασθε edexasthe “you received”

Seriously requesting us that they might have a part in this grace of being servants to the needs of the saints:

δέξασθαι dexasthai “to receive”

For while he gladly gave ear to our request, he was interested enough to go to you from the impulse of his heart.

ἐδέξατο, edexato “he accepted,”

For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

ἐδέξασθε, edexasthe “you did accept,”

I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

δέξασθέ dexasthe “do receive”

And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

ἐδέξασθέ edexasthe “you received”

And take salvation for your head-dress and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

δέξασθε dexasthe “do take”

I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

δεξάμενος dexamenos “having received”

Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

δέξασθε dexasthe “do welcome”

And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

δεξάμενοι dexamenoi “having received”

And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

ἐδέξασθε edexasthe “you accepted”

And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

ἐδέξαντο edexanto “they received”

By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land.

δεξαμένη dexamenē “having received”

For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

δέξασθε dexasthe “do receive”
