HELPS Word-studies

1926 epidéxomai (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" and 1325/dexomai, " welcome") – properly, receive (welcome) upon, emphasizing what naturally builds on the welcoming (note the prefix epi, upon).

1926/epidéxomai ("welcoming with its effects") is negated both times it occurs in the NT (3 Jn 9,10). This envisions all the "nasty spin-offs" that went with Diotrephes refusing to "aptly welcome" people into his local church.

[1926 (epidéxomai) is an intensified form of 1325/dexomai ("welcome, receive").]

NAS Exhaustive Concordance
Word Origin
from epi and dechomai
Definition

accept (1), receive (1).
