It conveys the idea of being well-received or approved, often in a spiritual or moral sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of acceptability was significant in both religious and social contexts. Offerings to deities were expected to be "acceptable" to ensure favor and blessing. Similarly, in Jewish tradition, offerings and sacrifices had to meet specific criteria to be considered acceptable to God. The New Testament usage of "euprosdektos" reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and <a href="/greek/4327.htm">prosdechomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>acceptable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acceptable (5).<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 2144: εὐπρόσδεκτος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐπρόσδεκτος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐυπροσδεκτον</span> (<span class="greek2">εὖ</span> and <span class="greek2">προσδέχομαι</span>), <span class="accented">well-received, accepted, acceptable</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/15-16.htm">Romans 15:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/6-2.htm">2 Corinthians 6:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/8-12.htm">2 Corinthians 8:12</a>; <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/15-31.htm">Romans 15:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-5.htm">1 Peter 2:5</a>.
