Strong's Lexicon egkrinó: To approve, to admit, to accept Original Word: ἐγκρίνω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and the verb "κρίνω" (krinó, meaning "to judge" or "to decide"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἐγκρίνω," the concept of approval can be related to Hebrew terms such as "רָצָה" (ratsah, Strong's H7521), meaning "to be pleased with" or "to accept." Usage: The verb "ἐγκρίνω" (egkrinó) is used to convey the act of approving or accepting something or someone. It implies a decision made after consideration, often involving discernment or judgment. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the acceptance of individuals or teachings within the Christian community. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of approval or acceptance was significant in various aspects of life, including social, legal, and religious contexts. Approval often involved a formal process of evaluation or judgment. In the early Christian church, discernment and approval were crucial for maintaining doctrinal purity and community integrity, especially as the church faced various teachings and practices.
