Dikaiosis denotes the outcome described in Romans as connected with being raised and with life reaching all humans.

The two occurrences present δικαίωσιν as an outcome: Romans 4:25 connects it with being raised, and Romans 5:18 places it in the clause where a righteous act brings an outcome of life to all humans.

Senses in use

  1. An outcome linked with raising and life · dominant

    In Romans 4:25, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause following being delivered up for trespasses and being raised; the APB renders the verse, "He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." In Romans 5:18, the same form occurs in the contrast between condemnation through one trespass and an outcome of life through one righteous act; the APB renders, "justification of life came into all humans."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "justification" in both verses, once in connection with being raised and once in the phrase "justification of life." These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation without isolating every contribution of the term.
