Strong's Lexicon endikos: Just, right, righteous, deserved Original Word: ἔνδικος Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "within") and "δίκη" (dikē, meaning "justice" or "right"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "endikos," the concept of justice and righteousness is often expressed in Hebrew by words such as "צֶדֶק" (tsedeq, Strong's H6664) and "מִשְׁפָּט" (mishpat, Strong's H4941). Usage: The Greek word "ἔνδικος" (endikos) is used to describe something that is just, right, or deserved. It conveys the idea of being in accordance with justice or righteousness. In the New Testament, it often refers to actions or judgments that are considered fair or appropriate according to divine or moral law. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, justice (δίκη) was a central concept in both legal and moral contexts. The idea of being "endikos" would resonate with the cultural understanding of fairness and righteousness, which were highly valued in both civic and personal life. The term would have been understood as aligning with the principles of justice that were foundational to both Greek philosophy and Jewish law.
