Requite

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: Ἀμοιβή (Strong'S #287 — Noun Feminine — amoibe — am-oy-bay' )

"a requital, recompence" (akin to ameibomai, "to repay," not found in the NT), is used with the verb apodidomi, "to render," in  1—Timothy 5:4 , and translated "to requite." This use is illustrated in the papyri by way of making a return, conferring a benefaction in return for something (Moulton and Milligan).

King James Dictionary [2]

REQUI'TE, from quit, L. cedo.

1. To repay either good or evil in a good sense, to recompense to return an equivalent in good to reward.

I also will requite you this kindness.  2 Samuel 2 .  1 Timothy 5 .

In a bad sense, to retaliate to return evil for evil to punish.

Joseph will certainly requite us all the evil which we did to him.  Genesis 1 .

2. To do or give in return.

He hath requited me evil for good.  1 Samuel 25 .

Webster's Dictionary [3]
