Wait on the LORD, and He will deliver you."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb ἀντιλοιδορέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of responding to insults or reviling with similar behavior. It conveys the idea of retaliating or returning abuse when one is insulted or wronged. This term is often used in the context of teaching about the appropriate Christian response to persecution or mistreatment, emphasizing the call to refrain from retaliation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were significant cultural values. Retaliation was often seen as a way to defend one's honor. However, the teachings of Jesus and the apostles introduced a counter-cultural approach, advocating for non-retaliation and forgiveness. This teaching was radical in a society where personal vengeance was common and often expected.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>486</b> <i>antiloidoréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3060.htm">3060</a> <i>/loídoros</i>, "revile" and <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "corresponding") – properly, to <i>return</i> abusive insults; reproach, denigrate; detract from someone's honor (reputation).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/473.htm">anti</a> and <a href="/greek/3058.htm">loidoreó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to revile in turn<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>revile in return (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 486: ἀντιλοιδορέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀντιλοιδορέω</span></span> <span class="greek2">ἀντιλοιδόρω</span>: (imperfect <span class="greek2">ἀντελοιδορουν</span>); <span class="accented">to revile in turn, to retort railing</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-23.htm">1 Peter 2:23</a>.
