HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1345 dikaíōma (a neuter noun, literally, "a judicially-approved act") – properly, an act God approves, focusing on its "result" (Zodhiates, Dict, note the -ma ending); justification (righteousness), with its results. See 1343 (dikaiosynē). 1345 /dikaíōma ("an act which is right according to the Lord") is "an act of righteousness, a concrete expression of righteousness" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 11) which correlates to its profound (eternal) effect. For the believer, this particularly relates to their unique glorification awarded at Christ's return (cf. Rev 19:8). [1345 (dikaíōma) is "not merely divine decisions, but righteous acts generally" (WS). The emphasis here is on the results that go with having God's approval (righteousness).] Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1345: δικαίωμαδικαίωμα, δικαιώματος, τό (from δικαιόω; ὁ δεδικαίωται or τό δεδικαιωμενον), the Sept. very often for חֹק, חֻקָה, and מִשְׁפָּט; for מִצְוָה, Deuteronomy 30:16; 1 Kings 2:3; plural occasionally for פִּקּוּדִים; 1. that which has been deemed right so as to have the force of law; a. what has been established and ordained by law, an ordinance: universally, of an appointment of God having the force of law, Romans 1:32; plural used of the divine precepts of the Mosaic law: τοῦ κυρίου, Luke 1:6; τοῦ νόμου, Romans 2:26; τό δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου, collectively, of the (moral) precepts of the same law, Romans 8:4; δικαιώματα λατρείας, precepts concerning the public worship of God, Hebrews 9:1; δικαιώματα σαρκός, laws respecting bodily purity ((?) cf.
