It conveys the idea of being in accordance with justice or righteousness. In the New Testament, it often refers to actions or judgments that are considered fair or appropriate according to divine or moral law.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, justice (δίκη) was a central concept in both legal and moral contexts. The idea of being "endikos" would resonate with the cultural understanding of fairness and righteousness, which were highly valued in both civic and personal life. The term would have been understood as aligning with the principles of justice that were foundational to both Greek philosophy and Jewish law.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/1349.htm">diké</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>righteous, just<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>just (2).<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 1738: ἔνδικος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔνδικος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἔνδικον</span> (<span class="greek2">δίκη</span>), <span class="accented">according to right, righteous, just</span>: <a href="/interlinear/romans/3-8.htm">Romans 3:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/2-2.htm">Hebrews 2:2</a>.
