Usage: The term ἀδίκημα is used in the New Testament to denote acts of injustice or wrongdoing. It is often associated with legal or moral transgressions. Context: The Greek term ἀδίκημα appears in the New Testament to describe acts that are contrary to justice and righteousness. It is used to highlight specific instances where individuals have committed offenses that are deemed unjust or unlawful. The term is found in contexts that emphasize the moral and legal implications of such actions. In Acts 18:14, the term is used when Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia, addresses the Jews who brought Paul before him, accusing him of persuading people to worship God contrary to the law. Gallio states, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or a serious crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to hear your complaint." Here, ἀδίκημα is translated as "wrongdoing," indicating a legal or moral offense. The use of ἀδίκημα underscores the gravity of the actions being described, often implying that such deeds are subject to judgment and require rectification. In the broader biblical context, acts of ἀδίκημα are seen as violations of God's law and are contrary to the principles of justice and righteousness that are central to the biblical narrative.
