It implies a reciprocal action, often in the sense of recompense or retribution. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of receiving back in proportion to what one has given or done.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of measure and reciprocity was significant in both social and economic transactions. The idea of "measuring back" was not only a practical matter but also a moral and ethical one, reflecting the values of justice and fairness. In the biblical context, this concept is often tied to the principles of divine justice and human relationships, where actions and attitudes are met with corresponding responses.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>488</b> <i>antimetréō</i> (from <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "<i>corresponding</i> to" and <a href="/greek/3354.htm">3354</a> <i>/metréō</i>, "to measure") – properly, measure out <i>proportionally</i> which provides an <i>exchange</i>, i.e. <i>based on a true equivalence</i> (literally, "measured back again"). <a href="/greek/488.htm">488</a> (<i>antimetréō</i>) is only used twice in the NT (<i>Textus Receptus</i>), each time in relation to <i>God's</i> "law of reciprocity" (Mt 7:2;
