472 antéxomai (from 473 /antí, "corresponding to" and 2192 /éxō, "have") – properly, proportionally lay hold of, i.e. as an equivalent (off-set) which "holds on to" in a way that matches the object grasped.

[In Mt 6:24, 472 (antéxomai) particularly suggests, "to stick by one's rights" (MM).]

T. only in the middle to keep oneself directly opposite to anyone, hold to him firmly, cleave to, paying heed to him: τίνος, Matthew 6:24; Luke 16:13; τῶν ἀσθενῶν, to aid them, care for them, 1 Thessalonians 5:14; τοῦ λόγου, to hold to, hold it fast, Titus 1:9.
