Strong's Lexicon adikeó: To do wrong, to act unjustly, to injure Original Word: ἀδικέω Word Origin: From the Greek word ἄδικος (adikos), meaning "unjust" or "unrighteous." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5766 (עָוֶל, avel): Injustice, unrighteousness - H2555 (חָמָס, chamas): Violence, wrong Usage: The verb ἀδικέω (adikeó) is used in the New Testament to describe actions that are unjust, wrongful, or injurious. It conveys the idea of violating justice or righteousness, often in the context of moral or ethical wrongdoing. This term can refer to both physical harm and moral transgressions against others or God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, justice was a foundational principle in both legal and moral contexts. The concept of δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē), or righteousness, was central to Greek philosophy and Jewish law. The term ἀδικέω would have been understood as a serious breach of social and divine order, reflecting a failure to live up to the standards of justice expected in both personal and communal relationships.
