This term is used in contexts such as receiving instruction or blessings.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, the term "lépsis" refers to the act of receiving or the state of having received something. It is often used in contexts that involve the reception of spiritual gifts, blessings, or messages. The word emphasizes the action or process of taking hold of something that is given.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of receiving was significant in various aspects of life, including hospitality, education, and religious practices. Receiving gifts or messages was often associated with honor and respect. In the Jewish context, receiving the law, prophecies, or divine blessings was central to religious life. The New Testament usage of "lépsis" reflects these cultural values, particularly in the context of receiving the gospel and spiritual gifts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/3025.htm">lémpsis</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3028: λῆψις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λῆψις</span></span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">λῆμψις</span>, see Mu), <span class="greek2">λήψεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">λαμβάνω</span>, <span class="greek2">λήψομαι</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> down), <span class="accented">a receiving</span>: <a href="/interlinear/philippians/4-15.htm">Philippians 4:15</a>, on which passage see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δόσις</span></span>, 1.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>receiving. <p>From <a href="/greek/2983.htm">lambano</a>;
