Synonyms
τιμωρία, requital. Arist. distinguishes between κ . as that which, being disciplinary, has reference to the sufferer, and as that which, being penal, has reference to the satisfaction of him who inflicts (see Thayer, κ., and cf. Tr., Syn., § vii). But in late Gk. especially, the distinction is not always maintained (see reff. in Thayer)
LXX Usage: (מִכְשׁוֹל), λαμβάνειν τὴν κ. (כָּלַם ni.), *
