18. Accepted. Acceptable

χαριτόω., (from χάρις, ‘grace') is translated ‘made accepted' in the A. V., in Eph. 1:66To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephesians 1:6): "made accepted in the beloved," where the sense is, ‘taken into favor,' or ‘made objects of grace.' It has been said that "accepted is too formal a doctrine here." The only other occurrence of χαριτόω is in Luke 1:2828And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (Luke 1:28), where the angel declared Mary to be the ‘highly favored' one, or, as in the margin, ‘graciously accepted, or much graced.'
Εὐάρεσος (lit. ‘well-pleasing,' from εὖ ‘well,' and ἀρέσκω ‘to please') signifies ‘acceptable' to God, Rom. 14:1818For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. (Romans 14:18); ‘agreeable' to the Lord, Eph. 5:1010Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. (Ephesians 5:10); ‘well-pleasing' to Him, Col. 3:2020Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. (Colossians 3:20). These passages show that the translation "we may be accepted of him," in 2 Cor. 5:99Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. (2 Corinthians 5:9), is incorrect: it should be "agreeable to him."
δεκτός (lit ‘acceptable,' from δέχομαι, ‘to accept') is another word rendered both ‘accepted' and ‘acceptable' in the A. V. It is associated with εἰάρστος in Phi. 4:18, where they are translated "acceptable (δε.), well-pleasing (εὐ).) to God." It has nearly the same force as εἰάρεστος, and should be rendered 'acceptable' in Luke 4:2424And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. (Luke 4:24); Acts 10:3535But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. (Acts 10:35); and 2 Cor. 6:22(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).
