Team definition
A verb meaning to sum up, gather up, or present something as a whole. Abbott-Smith groups Rom 13:9 and Eph 1:10 under the middle. The form ἀνακεφαλαιοῦται (anakephalaioutai) in Rom 13:9 is present middle/passive, third singular; in context it has passive sense: the commandments are summed up. Dodson gives sum up, summarize, recapitulate, or gather up in one. This lexical range does not settle how love fulfills law.
