287

287 ἀμοιβή amoibe am-oy-bay’ from ameibo (to exchange); n f; AV-requite + 591 1; 1

1) requital, recompence

• Strong’s Greek 287 (ἀμοιβή) denotes a return, exchange, or recompense that restores balance in a relationship. In Scripture the idea is neither commercial nor impersonal; it is a relational “giving back” motivated by gratitude and covenant loyalty.
• Paul’s use is both practical—relieving the church’s benevolence roll—and theological, rooting social duty in worshipful obedience.
