Strong's Lexicon adikia: Injustice, unrighteousness, wrongdoing Original Word: ἀδικία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: adikia Pronunciation: ah-dee-KEE-ah Phonetic Spelling: (ad-ee-kee'-ah) Definition: Injustice, unrighteousness, wrongdoing Meaning: injustice, unrighteousness, hurt. Word Origin: Derived from ἄδικος (adikos), meaning "unjust" or "unrighteous," which itself comes from the prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and δίκη (dike, "justice" or "righteousness"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עָוֶל (avel): Injustice, unrighteousness - רֶשַׁע (resha): Wickedness, guilt Usage: The term "adikia" refers to a state or condition of being unjust or unrighteous. It encompasses actions, thoughts, and behaviors that are contrary to God's standards of justice and righteousness. In the New Testament, "adikia" is often used to describe moral wrongness, wickedness, or iniquity, highlighting a deviation from divine law and ethical conduct. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, justice (dike) was a foundational concept in both legal and moral contexts. The prefix "a-" negates the word, thus "adikia" signifies a lack of justice or righteousness. In Jewish thought, righteousness (tzedakah) was closely tied to one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments. Therefore, "adikia" would be seen as a serious breach of covenantal faithfulness and community ethics.
