Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of recompense or paying a debt in the Hebrew Bible can be related to words like שָׁלַם (shalám - Strong's Hebrew 7999), which means to complete, to pay, or to recompense.

Usage: The Greek verb "tinó" primarily means "to pay" or "to recompense." It is used in the context of fulfilling an obligation, settling a debt, or providing recompense for an action. In the New Testament, it often carries the connotation of paying a penalty or fulfilling a due requirement.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of paying debts or recompensing for actions was deeply embedded in both legal and social systems. The idea of justice often involved the balancing of scales, where wrongs were righted through appropriate compensation. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament's use of "tinó," where the spiritual and moral obligations of individuals are often depicted in terms of debts and payments.
