'Welcomed' in the Bible

His affection is greater than ever as he remembers the obedience [to his guidance] that all of you exhibited, and how you received him with the greatest respect.

For if the eagerness [to give] is there, it is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

For Titus not only accepted our appeal, but was so very interested in you that he has gone to visit you of his own accord.

For [you seem willing to allow it] if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted. You tolerate all this beautifully [welcoming the deception].
