The Greek verb doreomai means to give freely, bestow as a gift, or grant graciously — emphasizing the voluntary, generous character of the giving. It is used of both human generosity and divine grace, particularly the gifts that flow from Christ.
Doreomai appears at a crucial moment in Mark 15:45: Pilate 'granted' (edoreesato) the body of Jesus to Joseph of Arimathea. Even the burial of the Lord came through an act of human generosity enabled by official permission. Peter uses the verb in 2 Peter 1:3–4 to describe how God's 'divine power has given (dedoreemenees) us everything we need for a godly life.' The gifts of divine nature, precious promises — everything required for life and godliness — are bestowed, not earned. Doreomai is grace made concrete: God opens His hand and gives what no merit could obtain.
