HELPS Word-studies

4327 prosdéxomai (from 4314 /prós, "towards, interchange" and 1209/dexomai, "welcome, receive") – properly, to receive in a personal (open) manner; to welcome with warm reciprocity.

4327/prosdéxomai ("wait actively, expectantly") means being "ready and willing" to give and receive. 4327 (prosdéxomai) then expresses expectant waiting where a person is ready and willing to receive all that is hoped for (note the force of pros). This is active "looking-for-and-waiting!"

[The high level of personal involvement (interest) motivating 4327 (prosdéxomai) accounts for why it is always in the Greek middle voice.]
