         Comments: It is possible that in some contexts ἀσπάζομαι[a] could be interpreted as ‘to visit,’ so that in {S:04401802200014} one may render ἀσπασάμενος τὴν ἐκκλησίαν as ‘visiting the church’ rather than as ‘greeting the church.’

         DefinitionShort: to welcome something or someone, with focus upon the initial greeting

         Glosses: ['to welcome', 'to accept gladly']

         Comments: In some languages, however, it may be difficult to speak of ‘welcoming promises,’ but one can often render this relationship as ‘they were happy to know about what had been promised.’ For another interpretation of ἀσπάζομαι in {S:05801101300030}, see ἀσπάζομαι[b] {D:25.130}.
