  • 16 ἀνταποδίδωμι

    ἀνταποδίδωμι fut. ἀνταποδώσω; 2 aor. ἀνταπέδωκα (2 pl.-εδώκατε Gen 44:4; 3 pl.-έδωκαν Mel., P. 72, 531); 2 aor. inf. ἀνταποδοῦναι; 1 fut. pass. ἀνταποδοθήσομαι (s. ἀποδίδωμι; Hdt.+) lit. ‘give back, tender in repayment’.
    ① to practice reciprocity with respect to an obligation, repay, pay back, requite τινί τι (PLond II, 413, 8 [IV A.D.] ἵνʼ ἀνταποδώσω σοι τὴν ἀγάπην; Sb 7600, 8f ἀ. τὰς χαρίτας; cp. SEG VIII, 549, 33; Pr 25:22; Sir 30:6; 1 Macc 10:27) εὐχαριστίαν τῷ θεῷ ἀ. requite God with thanks 1 Th 3:9; without obj. οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἀ. σοι they have no way to repay you Lk 14:14 (cp. EpJer 33; the thought strikes both a neg. and a positive note for one rooted in Gr-Rom. tradition: on the one hand, the virtuous pers. should be more interested in giving than in taking, but one ought to give to the right kind of pers.; s. e.g. Aristot., EN 1120a). Pass. (Jos., Ant. 14, 212) ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ it will be paid back to him Ro 11:35 (Is 40:14 v.l.).
    ② to exact retribution, repay, pay back τινί τι (PGM 3, 7; 115; Lev 18:25; Ps 7:5; 34:12 al.) ἀ. τοῖς θλίβουσιν ὑμᾶς θλῖψιν 2 Th 1:6. Abs. ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω I will repay Ro 12:19; Hb 10:30 (both Dt 32:35).—DELG s.v. δίδωμι. M-M. TW.
