G1346 G1346
Justly, righteously; in a manner that accords with what is right before God and people
The adverbial form of dikaios (righteous), describing action carried out in conformity with divine or moral standards. The repentant thief on the cross acknowledges that he and his companion suffer 'justly' (Luke 23:41), while Paul commends the Thessalonians by testifying that he behaved 'righteously' among them (1 Thess 2:10). In Titus 2:12, it sits alongside 'soberly' and 'godly' as a triad of Christian living. The multilingual uniformity -- Spanish 'justamente,' French 'justement,' German 'gerecht' -- confirms a stable core meaning of moral uprightness in conduct.
Senses
1. sense 1 — In a just, righteous, or morally upright manner; acting in accord with what is right before God and human conscience. Spanish 'justamente' and French 'justement' both retain the Latin root iustus, while German 'gerecht' points to the same norm of rightness. The dying thief confesses his punishment is deserved (Luke 23:41), Paul invokes the word to describe his blameless conduct among believers (1 Thess 2:10), and Titus 2:12 places it in a programmatic triad -- soberly, righteously, godly -- outlining the shape of Christian life in the present age. 5×
