Orthos describes answering, judging, teaching, or speaking in a manner affirmed as accurate.

The attested use marks actions or speech as accurate: an answer and a judgment are affirmed, teaching is described as truthful and impartial, and restored speech is presented as proper.

Senses in use

  1. Accurate speech, answers, and judgments · dominant

    As an adverb, the form qualifies an answer in Luke 10:28 and a judgment in Luke 7:43; in both verses the APB renders the assessment as "correctly." In Luke 20:21 it qualifies speaking and teaching described alongside impartiality and truth, while in Mark 7:35 it qualifies the man's speech after his tongue is loosed; the APB likewise renders both clauses with "correctly."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "correctly" in each supplied verse, for answering, judging, speaking and teaching, and speaking after healing. This repeated rendering confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating each English token.
