Strong's Lexicon antapodoma: Recompense, reward, repayment Original Word: ἀνταπόδομα Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἀνταποδίδωμι (antapodidōmi), meaning "to give back" or "to repay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of recompense in Hebrew is often represented by words like גְּמוּל (gemul), which also means reward or recompense, as seen in passages like Psalm 94:2. Usage: The term "antapodoma" refers to the concept of recompense or repayment, often in the context of divine justice or human interactions. It implies a return or reward for actions, whether good or bad. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both positive and negative recompense, highlighting the principle of receiving according to one's deeds. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the idea of recompense was deeply embedded in both legal and social systems. Justice was often seen as a balance of actions and their corresponding rewards or punishments. This concept was also present in Jewish thought, where God's justice was understood as rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked. The New Testament writers, influenced by both Jewish and Hellenistic thought, used "antapodoma" to convey the certainty of divine justice and the moral order of the universe.
