- To welcome, to receive, to accept, to have as a guest34.53
- This verb describes receiving someone hospitably or accepting their authority, used of John's complaint that Diotrephes, who loves to be first, does not accept what the apostle and his companions say — "Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say" (3 John 1:9).
- To pay attention to and obey36.14
- It also describes a refusal to submit to apostolic instruction, used of John's warning that he will call attention to Diotrephes' deeds when he comes, since Diotrephes is not satisfied with merely refusing to accept the apostle's words — "if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does" (3 John 1:10).
