Strong's Lexicon diploó: To double, to fold over Original Word: διπλόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: diploó Pronunciation: dip-LOH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (dip-lo'-o) Definition: I double, render back double. Meaning: To double, to make double, to fold over. Word Origin: From διπλόος (diplóos), meaning "double" or "twofold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H4932 מִשְׁנֶה (mishneh): Meaning "double" or "second," often used in contexts of doubling portions or responsibilities. • H3718 כָּפַל (kaphal): To double, fold, or multiply, used in contexts of increasing or duplicating. These Hebrew terms share a conceptual link with διπλόω, emphasizing the biblical principle of multiplication and the doubling of outcomes, whether in judgment or blessing. Usage: The term διπλόω is used in the context of making something double or increasing it twofold. It is a verb that implies multiplication or enhancement in quantity or effect. Context: The Greek verb διπλόω appears in the New Testament in contexts where the concept of doubling or increasing is significant. This term is rooted in the idea of multiplication, often used metaphorically to describe an increase in responsibility, judgment, or reward. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of διπλόω can be seen in passages that emphasize the doubling of consequences or blessings. For example, in Revelation 18:6, the term is used in the context of divine retribution: "Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion in her own cup." Here, διπλόω underscores the principle of recompense, where the punishment is doubled in accordance with the deeds committed. The concept of doubling is also present in the Old Testament, where it often relates to the law of restitution or the doubling of blessings. This reflects a broader biblical theme where actions, whether good or evil, are met with a corresponding and often amplified response.
