Berean Strong's Lexicon dikaióma: Ordinance, requirement, righteous act, judgment, justification Original Word: δικαίωμα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: dikaióma Pronunciation: dee-kah'-yo-mah Phonetic Spelling: (dik-ah'-yo-mah) Definition: Ordinance, requirement, righteous act, judgment, justification Meaning: a thing pronounced (by God) to be righteous (just, the right); or the restoration of a criminal, a fresh chance given him; a righteous deed, an instance of perfect righteousness. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6666 (צְדָקָה, tsedaqah): Often translated as "righteousness" or "justice," this Hebrew term shares a similar conceptual framework with δικαίωμα, emphasizing moral and legal righteousness. - H4941 (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat): Translated as "judgment" or "ordinance," it reflects the legal and judicial aspects of righteousness. Usage: The term "dikaióma" refers to a righteous act or deed, an ordinance or requirement, or the result of being justified. It is used in the New Testament to describe God's righteous decrees, the righteous acts of believers, and the justification provided through faith in Jesus Christ. The word emphasizes the concept of righteousness as both a legal standing before God and a moral obligation for believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of δικαίωμα was closely associated with legal and moral standards. It was used to describe laws, decrees, and judgments that were considered just and fair. In the Jewish context, it was often related to the Torah's commandments and the righteous requirements of the Law. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, expanded this understanding to include the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ, contrasting it with the righteousness based on the Law. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1345 dikaíōma (a neuter noun, literally, "a judicially-approved act") – properly, an act God approves, focusing on its "result" (Zodhiates, Dict, note the -ma ending); justification (righteousness), with its results. See 1343 (dikaiosynē). 1345 /dikaíōma ("an act which is right according to the Lord") is "an act of righteousness, a concrete expression of righteousness" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 11) which correlates to its profound (eternal) effect. For the believer, this particularly relates to their unique glorification awarded at Christ's return (cf. Rev 19:8). [1345 (dikaíōma) is "not merely divine decisions, but righteous acts generally" (WS). The emphasis here is on the results that go with having God's approval (righteousness).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from dikaioó Definition an ordinance, a sentence of acquittal or condemnation, a righteous deed NASB Translation act of righteousness (1), justification (1), ordinance (1), regulations (2), requirement (1), requirements (2), righteous acts (2).
