1amoibeG287

"a requital, recompence" (akin to ameibomai, "to repay," not found in the NT), is used with the verb apodidomi, "to render," in 1Ti 5:4, and translated "to requite." This use is illustrated in the papyri by way of making a return, conferring a benefaction in return for something (Moulton and Milligan).
