Euprosdektos describes an offering, service, readiness, sacrifice, or time presented favorably for acceptance.

The attested use consistently marks something presented as fit to be received: spiritual sacrifices, an offering, service, readiness, and a time connected with hearing and help. The verses show one applied use rather than distinct lexical senses.

   In 1 Peter 2:5, the accusative plural feminine form qualifies spiritual sacrifices offered to God; the APB renders the clause "to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." In Romans 15:16 and Romans 15:31, nominative singular feminine forms concern the Gentiles' offering and service toward Jerusalem, while 2 Corinthians 8:12 applies the same form to readiness and 2 Corinthians 6:2 to a time of hearing and help.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all five verses, the APB uses "acceptable" in clauses concerning sacrifices, a time, readiness, an offering, and service. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish a separate nuance for each setting.
