ἐξομολογέω exomologeō
confess · acknowledge · agree · praise
Team definition
In the active the verb can mean to consent or agree. In the middle it means to acknowledge or confess, and, with a dative of person, to make acknowledgment to someone’s honor, that is, to praise. Rom 15:9 uses the middle future in a citation of praising God among the nations. The entry keeps confession and praise as related lexical uses; it does not decide the citation’s source.
