The usage of "allow" can be seen in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, reflecting both divine permission and human responsibility. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the concept of allowing is frequently tied to God's laws and the permissions He grants to His people. For instance, in the Mosaic Law, certain actions and practices are allowed or disallowed, reflecting God's covenant with Israel. <a href="/leviticus/19-10.htm">Leviticus 19:10</a> states, "You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God." Here, the allowance is made for the poor and the foreigner to glean from the fields, demonstrating God's provision and care for all people. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the idea of allowing is often related to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles concerning Christian liberty and conscience. In <a href="/matthew/19-8.htm">Matthew 19:8</a> , Jesus addresses the issue of divorce, saying, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hardness of heart. But it was not this way from the beginning." This passage highlights the distinction between what was allowed due to human weakness and God's original design for marriage. The Apostle Paul also discusses the concept of allowance in the context of Christian freedom. In <a href="/1_corinthians/10-23.htm">1 Corinthians 10:23</a> , he writes, "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is edifying." Here, Paul emphasizes that while believers may have the freedom to engage in certain activities, they must consider whether those actions are beneficial and build up the body of Christ. Theological Implications Theologically, the concept of allowing is significant in understanding the balance between divine sovereignty and human free will. God's allowances are not arbitrary but are rooted in His character and purposes. He permits certain actions to occur within the framework of His ultimate plan, allowing humans to exercise their free will while still accomplishing His divine purposes. In the realm of Christian ethics, the idea of allowing is crucial in discerning how believers should live in a world where not all things are explicitly addressed in Scripture. Christians are called to exercise wisdom and discernment, seeking to align their actions with God's will and the edification of the church. Practical Application Practically, the concept of allowing challenges believers to consider their actions and decisions in light of God's Word. It calls for a careful examination of what is permissible versus what is beneficial, urging Christians to prioritize love, edification, and the glory of God in all things. As <a href="/romans/14-19.htm">Romans 14:19</a> encourages, "So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification." In summary, the biblical concept of "allow" encompasses divine permission, human responsibility, and the pursuit of actions that align with God's will and contribute to the edification of the church.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

(2) prosdechomai, "to receive to oneself," "admit" (the Revised Version (British and American) "look for," margin "accept"); <a href="/acts/24-15.htm">Acts 24:15</a>. (3) ginosko, "to know," "recognize": "That which I do, I allow not" (the Revised Version (British and American) "I know not"), i.e. "I do not understand what I am doing, my conduct is inexplicable to me" (Grimm-Thayer); <a href="/romans/7-15.htm">Romans 7:15</a>. (4) dokimazo, "to prove," "approve." "Happy is he that condemneth not himself in the thing which he alloweth" (the Revised Version (British and American) "approveth," i.e. in practice), i.e. who is not troubled with scruples; <a href="/romans/14-22.htm">Romans 14:22</a>. Thus the Revised Version (British and American) has removed the verb "allow" in each case in which it occurs in the King James Version, it being somewhat ambiguous in meaning (its original sense, as derived from Latin allocare, "to place," "assign," "grant," being influenced by another word, Latin allaudare, "to praise"). The noun "allowance" occurs in the sense of quantity of food allowed, in <a href="/2_kings/25-30.htm">2 Kings 25:30</a> (King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American)) and the parallel passage <a href="/jeremiah/52-34.htm">Jeremiah 52:34</a> (RV; "diet" in the King James Version).
