476. antidikos

antidikos: an opponent, adversary
Original Word: ἀντίδικος, ου, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: antidikos
Phonetic Spelling: (an-tid'-ee-kos)
Short Definition: an opponent, adversary
Definition: an opponent (at law), an adversary.

476 antídikos (from 473 /antí, "against, off-set" and 1349 /díkē, "justice, a judge") – properly, a prosecuting attorney arguing a case-at-law; an "opponent at law" (TDNT).

476 /antídikos ("an accuser, adversary") brings formal charges, i.e. as they are binding to exact penalty. Satan acts as such an adversary, bringing the "(law)suit" of darkness against believers for their eternal damnation (cf. 1 Pet 5:8). Offsetting this is the perfect sacrifice of Christ (Jn 19:30)!

[476 (antídikos) is "an adversary in a lawsuit," from anti/"against," and dīkē/"a lawsuit," WS, 319.

476 (antidikos) is a technical legal term used in antiquity of an adversary in a courtroom, i.e. someone seeking official (formal, binding) damages.

The papyri (Pl Phdr 237) used 476 (antídikos) of an opponent in a law suit.]
