SIBI-P1 G1209-08

having received for himself

Rootδέχομαι (dechomai)
Core Meaningsreceive, welcome, accept, take to oneself, admit
Semantic Rangeto receive physically, to welcome a guest, to accept a message or teaching, to take upon oneself, to approve or acknowledge
Conceptual Significanceδέχομαι often conveys more than physical reception; it implies a willing acceptance or welcoming, especially of persons, messages, or divine revelation. In biblical usage, receiving can signify embracing God’s word or messengers, highlighting covenantal responsiveness and personal appropriation of what is given.
Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed action); middle voice (reflexive or self-involved); participle; nominative masculine singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist participle conveys a completed action prior to the main verb, expressed as "having received." The middle voice of δέχομαι carries a reflexive or personal-interest nuance, hence "for himself," preserving the verb’s inherent middle force. The nominative masculine singular form aligns with a masculine singular subject performing this completed act.
