Antilogia denotes opposition or contention, whether ended by an oath, excluded from a blessing, endured as hostility, or linked with Korah.

The occurrences portray contention or opposition: it is brought to an end by an oath, ruled out in the relation of blessing, endured as hostility, and associated with Korah's downfall.

Senses in use

  1. Contention or opposition in varied contexts · dominant

    The genitive singular forms occur where an oath ends every dispute in Hebrews 6:16 and where no dispute qualifies the blessing of the lesser by the greater in Hebrews 7:7. The accusative singular in Hebrews 12:3 stands in the clause about enduring hostility from sinners, while the dative singular in Jude 1:11 occurs in the statement that some perished in Korah's dispute.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the relevant contexts with “dispute” in Hebrews 6:16, Hebrews 7:7, and Jude 1:11, and with “hostility” in Hebrews 12:3. These renderings present the clauses rather than establish separate lexical senses.
