προτρέπω G4389
to urge forward, encourage, or persuade someone to take action
This verb in the middle voice means to urge someone forward, encourage, or persuade them to undertake something. In classical Greek it could mean to give oneself up to something or to impel others toward action. Luke uses this term to describe how the believers in Achaia encouraged Apollos to travel to Corinth, even writing letters of recommendation on his behalf. The multilingual glosses emphasize the encouragement: Spanish 'animándole' (encouraging him), French 'exhorter' (to exhort), reflecting the supportive, forward-pushing dimension of this verb.

1. sense 1 — Acts 18:27 records that when Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, 'the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him.' The participle describes the believers actively urging Apollos forward in his ministry plans. Spanish 'animándole' (encouraging him) and French 'exhorter' (to exhort) both capture this sense of motivating and supporting someone's initiative. The classical lexicon shows this verb means to urge on, impel, or persuade someone to action. The brothers' encouragement included practical help—letters of recommendation—showing how the early church facilitated ministry through networks of mutual support. 1×
