Exegesis
The dative phrase tois mathētais {τοῖς μαθηταῖς | toîs ma-thē-taîs} ‘to the disciples’ marks the recipients of the letter, and the infinitive apodexasthai {ἀποδέξασθαι | a-po-dé-xas-thai} ‘to welcome’ conveys the desired response.
In context — Acts 18:27
When he wanted to cross into Achaia , the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. After he arrived, he provided considerable assistance to those who had believed through the grace.
