Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04201800700016'], 'Content': 'It is difficult to determine whether ἐκδίκησις in {S:04201800700016} should be interpreted as a state of justice or the activity of giving justice. One might assume that the activity is represented by the verb ποιέω and that ἐκδίκησις then denotes the resulting state, but it is also possible to understand ποιέω as a kind of empty verb, which simply marks a case relationship between the agent (ὁ θεός) and the primary activity in ἐκδίκησις.'}
