Epimeleomai describes taking active responsibility for someone’s welfare, including ongoing attention and provision.

The attested passages show active attention to another’s welfare: immediate aid to an injured person, continued provision arranged through an innkeeper, and the anticipated oversight of God’s assembly.

   In Luke 10:34 the third-person aorist form occurs after the man binds wounds, applies oil and wine, brings the injured man to an inn, and remains attentive to him; the APB renders the clause “and cared for him.” In Luke 10:35 the second-person aorist form is directed to the innkeeper alongside provision for further expense, while in 1 Timothy 3:5 the future form concerns someone’s prospective attention to God’s assembly; the APB renders these clauses “Take care of him” and “care for the assembly of God.”

   Luke 10:34Luke 10:351 Timothy 3:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “cared for him,” “Take care of him,” and “care for the assembly of God.” These phrases confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than supplying a separate lexical distinction.
