These Hebrew entries correspond to the concept of τίνω in terms of payment, recompense, and the judicial process of addressing wrongdoing. The biblical narrative consistently emphasizes the importance of justice and the fulfillment of obligations, both in human relationships and in the divine-human relationship.

Usage: The verb τίνω is used in the context of paying a debt or penalty, often implying a form of recompense or retribution. It is associated with the idea of fulfilling an obligation or experiencing the consequences of an action.

Context: The Greek verb τίνω appears in the New Testament with the connotation of paying or recompensing, often in a judicial or moral sense. It is used to describe the act of settling a debt or fulfilling a required penalty. This term is rooted in the concept of justice, where actions have corresponding consequences that must be addressed or rectified.

In the New Testament, τίνω is not frequently used, but its implications are significant in understanding the biblical perspective on justice and retribution. The concept aligns with the broader biblical theme that actions, whether good or evil, have consequences that must be addressed. This aligns with the divine principle of justice, where God ensures that righteousness is upheld and wrongdoing is recompensed.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) reflects this understanding in its translation, emphasizing the moral and judicial aspects of τίνω. The term underscores the necessity of addressing sin and wrongdoing, either through personal recompense or through the redemptive work of Christ, who paid the ultimate penalty for sin on behalf of humanity.
