Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g593 Greek: apodokimazo

Reject:

"to reject" as the result of examination and disapproval (apo, "away from," dokimazo, "to approve"), is used

(a) of the "rejection" of Christ by the elders and chief priests of the Jews, Mat 21:42; Mar 8:31; 12:10; Luk 9:22; 20:17; 1Pe 2:4, 7 (AV, "disallowed"); by the Jewish people, Luk 17:25;

(b) of the "rejection" of Esau from inheriting "the blessing," Hbr 12:17.
See DISALLOW. Cp. and contrast exoutheneo, Act 4:11.
See DESPISE.

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g114 Greek: atheteo

Reject:

properly, "to do away" with what has been laid down, to make atheton (i.e., "without place," a, negative, tithemi, "to place"), hence, besides its meanings "to set aside, make void, nullify, disannul," signifies "to reject;" in Mar 6:26, regarding Herod's pledge to Salome, it almost certainly has the meaning "to break faith with" (cp. the Sept. of Jer 12:6, and Lam 1:2, "dealt treacherously"). Moulton and Milligan illustrate this meaning from the papyri. Field suggests "disappoint." In Mar 7:9 "ye reject (the commandment)" means "ye set aside;" in Luk 7:30, "ye reject" may have the meaning of "nullifying or making void the counsel of God;" in Luk 10:16 (four times), "rejecteth," RV (AV, "despiseth"); "rejecteth" in Jhn 12:48; "reject" in 1Cr 1:19 (AV, "bring to nothing"); 1Th 4:8, "to despise," where the reference is to the charges in ver. 2; in 1Ti 5:12 RV, "have rejected" (AV, "have cast off").
See DESPISE, Notes (1), DISANNUL, No. 1.

A-3 Verb Strong's Number: g1609 Greek: ekptuo

Reject:

"to spit out" (ek, "out," and ptuo, "to spit"), i.e., "to abominate, loathe," is used in Gal 4:14, "rejected" (marg., "spat out"), where the sentence is elliptical: "although my disease repelled you, you did not refuse to hear my message."

A-4 Verb Strong's Number: g3868 Greek: paraiteomai

Reject:

besides the meanings "to beg from another," Mar 15:6 (in the best texts); "to entreat that... not," Hbr 12:19; "to beg off, ask to be excused," Luk 14:18, 19; 12:25 (see REFUSE, No. 2), is translated to reject in Tts 3:10, AV.
See EXCUSE, INTREAT, REFUSE.
