Or, "welcome." The correct word is apolambanō, as in T. R., but others have hupolambanō, to bear up or welcome. The word "welcome" of the RV is a reading differing form the T. R. and should be noted. The word means to "take up" or "sustain" and should be distinguished from "receive" in 9, 10, the first use of which seems not recognizing the apostle’s authority in what he wrote, or rejecting him virtually, the second not admitting, to fellowship rather than hospitality, the visiting brethren, but casting out of the church those who would do so.
