Strong's Lexicon apodoché: Acceptance, Approval Original Word: ἀποδοχή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀποδέχομαι (apodechomai), meaning "to receive" or "to accept." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apodoché," the concept of acceptance can be related to Hebrew terms like רָצוֹן (ratson), meaning "favor" or "acceptance," as seen in passages like Psalm 19:14. Usage: The term "apodoché" refers to the act of receiving or accepting something with approval or favor. In the New Testament context, it often implies a positive reception or acknowledgment, particularly in relation to teachings, individuals, or divine truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, acceptance or approval was a significant social concept, often linked to hospitality, patronage, and the reception of philosophical or religious teachings. The early Christian community placed a high value on the acceptance of the gospel message and the inclusion of believers into the fellowship of the church. This acceptance was not merely passive but involved a wholehearted embrace of the faith and its implications for life and conduct.
