τῑμωρ-έω G5097
to punish, avenge, exact retribution
This verb carries the sense of exacting punishment or vengeance, particularly as an official act of retribution. In classical usage it could describe avenging a slain relative or friend. Paul uses it twice in his defense speeches to describe his former persecution of Christians—he sought to punish them or make them worthy of punishment. The word emphasizes the active pursuit of retribution rather than passive judgment.

1. sense 1 — Drawing from classical usage where τιμωρέω meant to exact vengeance or punishment (often for blood relatives), Paul twice describes his pre-conversion zeal in punishing Christians. In Acts 22:5 and 26:11, the verb captures his active role as a persecutor seeking to bring believers to punishment, not merely approving of their execution but zealously pursuing their condemnation. 2×
