antapodidomi denotes giving a return—whether answering generosity or repaying those who inflict pressure.

The attested usage chiefly concerns giving a return in response to what another has done or given: thankfulness toward God, repayment to a benefactor, or recompense for generosity. It also occurs in declarations that God will repay those who cause pressure and will answer vengeance.

1. Giving a return for what was received or given · dominant

   In 1 Thessalonians 3:9, the aorist active infinitive occurs in the question of what thankfulness can be returned to God because of the recipients' joy. Luke 14:14 sets inability to return something to the giver beside future repayment at the resurrection, while Romans 11:35 asks who has given in advance and will be repaid.

2. Repaying those who cause harm or pressure · common

   In 2 Thessalonians 1:6, the APB renders the clause "to repay with pressure those who press on you." In Hebrews 10:30 and Romans 12:19, the first-person future active form stands in the declaration, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," identifying the Lord as the one who will repay.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly uses "repay" or "repaid," including repayment of thankfulness, return to a giver, and repayment connected with pressure or vengeance. Its wording confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than fixing a separate English rendering for every form.
