AI Summary
χαίρω means to rejoice, be glad, be happy 1234 – an inward feeling of joy or gladness, used of persons rejoicing at events, at hearing news, or in general states such as joy in the Lord 13. It can take a thing rejoiced at expressed with a dative, a preposition, a participle, or a "that" clause, and is set in contrast with weeping or grieving 13.
χαίρω is also used as a set greeting formula in its imperative and infinitive forms: "hail" or "welcome" said on meeting someone 123, "farewell" said on parting 123, and as the standard opening word of a letter, meaning simply "greeting" 123. In other contexts the imperative can also mean "be of good cheer," encouraging someone 13.
