O Lord, hear my prayer! David wrote. Pay attention to my plea for help! Because of your faithfulness and justice (Septuagint: δικαιοσύνη), answer me! Do not sit in judgment (Septuagint: κρίσιν, a form of κρίσις) on your servant, for no one alive is innocent (Septuagint: δικαιωθήσεται, a form of δικαιόω) before you [Table].1 David’s prayer is a good starting place for this part of Romans.
Now we know that whatever the law says, Paul continued, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.2
I planned to hurry to the next verse, assuming that I knew what this one was saying. I thought under the law would be υπο νομον in Greek. When I decided not to be so lazy and checked, I discovered I was wrong. It is εν τω νομω, in the law. It may not be a major difference. But it is more like εν ρωμη, in Rome,3 εν αυτω, in the gospel (literally, in it),4 εν σαρκι, in the flesh,5 εν τω νυν καιρω, in the present time,6 εν η εστηκαμεν, in which we stand,7 εν χριστω ιησου, in Christ Jesus,8 εν πνευματι αγιω, in the Holy Spirit,9 εν δυναμει πνευματος, in the power of the Spirit,10 rather than υπο νομον, under law.11
Likewise I assumed that being held accountable had something to do with λογον, an account,12 to explain,13 but I was wrong again. The word translated held accountable is υποδικος, a compound word made up of ὑπό (under) and δίκη. This compound word only occurs once in the New Testament. But in Acts καταδικην (a form of καταδίκη) is a sentence of condemnation,14 and δικη is translated as the pagan deity Justice (NET) or vengeance (KJV).15 Paul wrote the Thessalonians, With flaming fire he will mete out punishment (εκδικησιν, a form of ἐκδίκησις) on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus [See Addendum below].16 They will undergo (δικην) the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength [See Addendum below]…17 Jude wrote, You also know that the angels who did not keep within their proper domain but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept in eternal chains in utter darkness, locked up for the judgment of the great Day. So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns, since they indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire in a way similar to these angels, are now displayed as an example by suffering the punishment (δικην) of eternal fire.18
In that light it seems to me that the translation held accountable for υποδικος (under δικην) might understate the case a bit. Since I brought up Jude and Sodom, it seems only fair to bring up Ezekiel. In the end I am not trying merely to learn the meaning of Greek words, but to know God (Ezekiel 16:44-48 NET).
“‘Observe – everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.” You are the daughter of your mother, who detested her husband and her sons, and you are the sister of your sisters who detested their husbands and their sons. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters, and your younger sister, who lived south of you, was Sodom with her daughters. Have you not copied their behavior and practiced their abominable deeds? In a short time you became even more depraved in all your conduct than they were! As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, your sister Sodom and her daughters never behaved as wickedly as you and your daughters have behaved.
This was addressed to the people of Judah, the southern kingdom of Israel that remained loyal to Solomon’s son Rehoboam. One might miss in Jude’s emphasis on Sodom and Gomorrah that there was a time when God considered Judah more depraved than Sodom (Ezekiel 16:49-52 NET).
“‘See here – this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters had majesty, abundance of food, and enjoyed carefree ease, but they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and practiced abominable deeds before me. Therefore when I saw it I removed them. Samaria has not committed half the sins you have; you have done more abominable deeds than they did. You have made your sisters appear righteous (Hebrew: וַתְּצַדְּקִי֙; Septuagint: ἐδικαίωσας, a form of δικαιόω) with all the abominable things you have done. So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous (Hebrew: תִּצְדַּ֣קְנָה; Septuagint: ἐδικαίωσας, a form of δικαιόω) than you. So now, be ashamed and bear the disgrace of making your sisters appear righteous (Hebrew: בְּצַדֶּקְתֵּ֖ךְ; Septuagint: δικαιῶσαί, another form of δικαιόω).
Again, Jude mentioned Sodom’s abominable deeds but not that there was a time when God said that Judah had done more abominable deeds than Sodom or Samaria, the northern kingdom of Israel that rebelled against Rehoboam. And Jude did not mention God’s promised restoration (Ezekiel 16:53-58 NET).
“‘I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters (along with your fortunes among them) [See Table below], so that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done in consoling them. As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters will be restored to their former status, Samaria and her daughters will be restored to their former status, and you and your daughters will be restored to your former status. In your days of majesty, was not Sodom your sister a byword in your mouth [See Table below], before your evil was exposed? Now you have become an object of scorn to the daughters of Aram and all those around her and to the daughters of the Philistines – those all around you who despise you. You must bear your punishment for your obscene conduct and your abominable practices, declares the Lord.’”
For no one is declared righteous (δικαιωθήσεται, a form of δικαιόω) before him by the works of the law, Paul continued, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed – namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe [Table].19

| καὶ Σαμάρεια κατὰ τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου οὐχ ἥμαρτεν καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἀνομίας σου ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς καὶ ἐδικαίωσας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν πάσαις ταῗς ἀνομίαις σου αἷς ἐποίησας | καὶ Σαμάρεια κατὰ τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν σου οὐχ ἥμαρτε· καὶ ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἀνομίας σου ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς καὶ ἐδικαίωσας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἀνομίαις σου, αἷς ἐποίησας |
| And Samaria sinned not half of your sins, and you multiplied your lawless acts beyond them and made your sisters right by all your lawless acts that you committed. | Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine iniquities beyond them, and thou hast justified thy sisters in all thine iniquities which thou hast committed. |
| Ezekiel 16:52 (KJV) | ||
| Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. | Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. | So now, bear your disgrace, because you have given your sisters reason to justify their behavior. Because the sins you have committed were more abominable than those of your sisters; they have become more righteous than you. So now, be ashamed and bear the disgrace of making your sisters appear righteous. |
| καὶ σὺ κόμισαι βάσανόν σου ἐν ᾗ ἔφθειρας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν ταῗς ἁμαρτίαις σου αἷς ἠνόμησας ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς καὶ ἐδικαίωσας αὐτὰς ὑπὲρ σεαυτήν καὶ σὺ αἰσχύνθητι καὶ λαβὲ τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου ἐν τῷ δικαιῶσαί σε τὰς ἀδελφάς σου | καὶ σὺ κόμισαι βάσανόν σου, ἐν ᾗ ἔφθειρας τὰς ἀδελφάς σου ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις σου, αἷς ἠνόμησας ὑπὲρ αὐτάς, καὶ ἐδικαίωσας αὐτὰς ὑπὲρ σεαυτήν· καὶ σὺ αἰσχύνθητι καὶ λάβε τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου ἐν τῷ δικαιῶσαί σε τὰς ἀδελφάς σου |
| And you shall bear your trial, for you ruined your sisters with your sins by which you acted laelessly beyond them and rendered them right beyond yourselves, and be ashamed, you, and receive your dishonor for rendering your sisters right. | Thou therefore bear thy punishment, for that thou hast corrupted thy sisters by thy sins which thou hast committed beyond them; and thou hast made them [appear] more righteous than thyself: thou therefore be ashamed, and bear thy dishonour, in that thou hast justified thy sisters. |
