ξεν-ία G3578
hospitality, lodging or the act of receiving guests
The custom of receiving and housing guests, a cornerstone of ancient Mediterranean culture. Both New Testament occurrences are in Acts and Philemon: Jews gathered at Paul's lodging in Rome (Acts 28:23), and Paul requests Philemon to prepare him a guest room (Philemon 1:22). The term encompasses both the physical space (guest quarters) and the social relationship (host-guest bond). In a world of limited public accommodation, hospitality created networks of trust and mutual obligation essential to early Christian mission.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Guest lodging or the practice of hospitality. Classical usage emphasizes the reciprocal relationship—hospitality given creates future hospitality received, establishing bonds between families and cities. The Christian adaptation maintains this social dimension while extending it across ethnic and class boundaries. Cross-linguistic glosses vary between abstract 'hospitality' (French 'hospitalité,' German 'Gastfreundschaft') and concrete 'lodging' (Spanish 'alojamiento/hospedaje'), reflecting the term's dual reference to both practice and space. 2×
