It is used in the New Testament to describe actions that are morally or legally wrong, often in the context of offenses against God or others. The word emphasizes the nature of the act as being contrary to righteousness and justice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, justice was a foundational concept in both legal and moral contexts. The idea of "adikéma" would have been understood as a violation of the social and divine order. In Jewish thought, rooted in the Old Testament, justice (Hebrew: "mishpat") was central to the covenant relationship with God, and any form of injustice was seen as a breach of that covenant.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 92</b> <i>adíkēma</i> (a neuter noun derived from <a href="/greek/93.htm">93</a> <i>/adikía</i>, "unrighteousness") – <i>unrighteousness</i>; a violation of<i> God's justice/judgments</i> with emphasis on its <i>results</i> (note the <i>-ma</i> suffix) – i.e. wrongdoing as it brings <i>certain divine retribution</i>. <a href="/greek/93.htm">See 93</a> (<i>adikia</i>).</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/91.htm">adikeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wrong, injury<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>iniquities (1), misdeed (1), wrong (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 92: ἀδίκημα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀδίκημα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(τος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀδικέω</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> on), a misdeed (<span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἄδικον</span> ... <span class="greek2">ὅταν</span> <span class="greek2">πραχθῇ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀδίκημα</span> <span class="greek2">ἐστιν</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, Eth.
