STRONGS NT 469: ἀνταπόδοσις

ἀνταπόδοσις, ἀνταποδόσεως, , recompense: Colossians 3:24. (In the Sept. equivalent to גְּמוּל, Isaiah 59:18, etc.; in Greek writings from Thucydides down.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀνταποδίδωμι (antapodidōmi), which means "to give back" or "to repay."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of recompense or retribution in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words such as גְּמוּל (g'mul, Strong's Hebrew 1576), which means "recompense" or "reward."
• Another related Hebrew term is שִׁלּוּם (shillum, Strong's Hebrew 8005), which also conveys the idea of repayment or recompense.
• These Hebrew terms, like ἀνταπόδοσις, reflect the biblical principle that God will repay each person according to their deeds, a theme that runs throughout the Scriptures.

Usage: The term ἀνταπόδοσις is used in the New Testament to describe the concept of recompense or reward, often in the context of divine justice or human relationships.

Context: • The term ἀνταπόδοσις appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the principle of divine justice and human accountability. It is used to describe the recompense that God will provide, whether as a reward for righteousness or as retribution for wrongdoing.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνταπόδοσις is found in passages that highlight the certainty of God's justice. For example, in Romans 11:9, it is used in the context of God's dealings with Israel, where it is written, "And David says: 'May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.'"
• The concept of ἀνταπόδοσις is closely related to the biblical theme of sowing and reaping, where individuals receive consequences that correspond to their actions. This principle is evident in both the Old and New Testaments, underscoring the moral order established by God.
• Theologically, ἀνταπόδοσις serves as a reminder of the ultimate accountability before God, encouraging believers to live righteously and to trust in God's perfect justice. It also provides assurance that God will vindicate His people and judge the wicked.
