The Greek word for "welcome" is "δέχομαι" (dechomai), which implies receiving someone with warmth and eagerness. In the early church, hospitality was a vital expression of love and unity among believers. The phrase "in the Lord" signifies that this welcome is not merely a social courtesy but a spiritual act, recognizing the shared faith and fellowship in Christ.
