Near synonyms 2 words
- κόλασις kólasis · G2851 · punishment
- τιμωρία emphasizes the retributive purpose behind a punishment, while κόλασις denotes the penal infliction itself. Both belong to the vocabulary of judicial penalty, converging closely though with this nuance in emphasis.
- κολάζω kolázō · G2849 · to punish
- Both terms operate within the domain of punitive action. κολάζω (kolázō, G2849) emphasizes the act of chastisement or infliction itself, while τιμωρία (timōría, G5098) denotes the penalty or vindication as outcome. The convergence is genuine but scoped by limited attestation (2 and 1 occurrences respectively), restricting full verification of interchangeability across broader registers.
