Another related term is כָּפַר (kaphar, Strong's H3722), meaning "to cover" or "to atone."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "antilutron" refers to a ransom or price paid for the release of someone held captive. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ as the means by which believers are redeemed from sin and its consequences. The concept emphasizes substitutionary atonement, where Christ's death serves as a substitute for the penalty due to sinners.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of a ransom was well understood. It was a price paid to free a slave or a prisoner of war. The idea of a ransom also appears in the Old Testament, where it is associated with the redemption of individuals or property. In the New Testament, this concept is applied to the spiritual realm, where Christ's death is seen as the ultimate ransom that liberates believers from the bondage of sin and death.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>487</b> <i>antílytron</i> (from <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "corresponding to, instead of/exchange" and <a href="/greek/3083.htm">3083</a> <i>/lýtron</i>, "ransom-price") – properly, a <i>full ransom</i>, referring to Christ paying the complete <i>purchase-price</i> to secure our <i>freedom</i> (<i>redemption</i>) – i.e. Christ <i>exchanging</i> His eternal righteousness for our sin (cf.
