In today’s broadcast, I mentioned that the word for ‘sentence’ in 2 Cor. 1:9 was ‘answer‘ in the Greek. Here are the references regarding that from Vine’s Online Dictionary:
“Sentence” ‘apokrima’ from Vines
<A-3,Noun,610,apokrima>
is translated “sentence” in 2 Cor. 1:9, AV (RV, “answer”). See ANSWER, No. 2.
Answer, No. 3 ‘apokrima’ from Vines
<A-2,Noun,610,apokrima>
akin to No. 1, denotes a judicial “sentence,” 2 Cor. 1:9, AV, and RV, margin, or an “answer” (RV, text), an answer of God to the Apostle’s appeal, giving him strong confidence. In an ancient inscription it is used of an official decision. In a papyrus document it is used of a reply to a deputation. See SENTENCE
