This adjective describes what is acceptable, welcome, or pleasing—particularly in contexts of divine approval. Paul uses it twice in 1 Timothy to describe things that are 'acceptable to God': intercessory prayer for all people (2:3) and providing for one's family (5:4). The consistent translation as 'acceptable' or 'agreeable' across languages (Spanish aceptable, German angenehm) reflects its core sense of meeting a standard or finding favor, with theological overtones of what God welcomes.
