Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατορθόω (katorthoō), which means "to set right" or "to accomplish successfully."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κατόρθωμα, the concept can be related to Hebrew terms that denote righteous deeds or successful actions in accordance with God's law. Some corresponding Hebrew entries might include:

- צֶדֶק (tsedeq) • Strong's Hebrew 6664: Often translated as "righteousness," this term encompasses the idea of living in a way that is just and right according to God's standards.
- מַעֲשֶׂה (ma'aseh) • Strong's Hebrew 4639: Meaning "work" or "deed," this term can refer to actions that are in line with God's commandments and purposes.

These Hebrew terms, like κατόρθωμα, emphasize the importance of aligning one's actions with divine principles and achieving success in a manner that is morally and spiritually commendable.

Usage: The term κατόρθωμα is not directly found in the New Testament text. It is a classical Greek term used to describe a successful action or achievement, often with a moral or virtuous connotation.

Context: The Greek term κατόρθωμα, while not appearing in the New Testament, carries significant weight in understanding the cultural and philosophical context of the era. In classical Greek literature, it often referred to deeds that were not only successful but also morally commendable. The root verb κατορθόω implies a sense of setting things right or achieving a goal in a manner that aligns with virtue and righteousness.

In the context of biblical theology, the concept of κατόρθωμα can be related to the idea of righteous deeds or actions that align with God's will. While the specific term does not appear in the New Testament, the underlying concept is reflected in passages that emphasize the importance of living a life that is pleasing to God through righteous actions. For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, James 2:17 states, "So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead." This highlights the biblical principle that true faith is demonstrated through righteous actions, akin to the idea of κατόρθωμα.

The term also resonates with the teachings of Paul, who often emphasized the importance of living a life worthy of the calling received (Ephesians 4:1, BSB). The moral and ethical dimensions of κατόρθωμα align with the biblical call to live out one's faith through actions that reflect God's righteousness and justice.
