It implies a reciprocal relationship where actions lead to corresponding outcomes, whether positive or negative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of recompense was deeply embedded in social and economic transactions. The idea of receiving a reward or return for one's labor or actions was a common expectation. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament, where spiritual and moral actions are often discussed in terms of their eternal rewards or consequences.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>489</b> <i>antimisthía</i> (from <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "matching, corresponding" and <a href="/greek/3408.htm">3408</a> <i>/misthós</i>, "reward") – properly, <i>proportionate</i> reward; <i>matching</i> compensation (which can be pleasant or painful).</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 antimisthos (as a reward)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a reward<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exchange (1), penalty (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 489: ἀντιμισθία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀντιμισθία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀντιμισθιας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀντίμισθος</span> remunerating) <span class="accented">a reward given in compensation, requital, recompense</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> in a good sense: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/6-13.htm">2 Corinthians 6:13</a> (<span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀντιμισθίαν</span> <span class="greek2">πλατύνθητε</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ὑμεῖς</span>, a concise expression for <span class="accented">Be ye also enlarged</span> i. e. enlarge your hearts, just as I have done (<a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/6-11.htm">2 Corinthians 6:11</a>), <span class="accented">that so ye may recompense me</span> — for <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτό</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐστιν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀντιμισθία</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 530 (493), and § 66, 1 b.; (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 190 (164); 396 (339))). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> in a bad sense: <a href="/interlinear/romans/1-27.htm">Romans 1:27</a>.
