Abstract

In this exegetical study we shall try to find a clear Biblical definition of dikailoō. We shall examine the background of dikaioō: the basic meaning of righteousness, the righteousness of God as His purpose in this world, and the work of Christ, as the righteous Servant. Then we shall examine dikaioō as a forensic term: What is its forensic meaning as Scripture defines it? Is it only "declare righteous?” Is it also “make righteous?” What must we say of God's verdict in Justification, since God's word is always true and effective? What meaning does dikaioō have in view of the fact that God gives us righteousness? What is the linguistic usage of the term dikaioō?
