κόλασις

κόλασις, -εως, ἡ

(κολάζω), [in LXX: Ezk 14,3-7; 18,30; 44,12, (מִכְשׁוֹל) Ezk 43,11, λαμβάνειν τὴν κ. (כָּלַם ni.); Wis 11,13; 16,2, 24; 19,4, Jer 18,20, 2-4 Mac.5 * ;]

correction, penalty, punishment: Matt 25,46, 1 Joh 4,18.†

SYN.: τιμωρία, requital. Arist. distinguishes between κ . as that which, being disciplinary, has reference to the sufferer, and τ. as that which, being penal, has reference to the satisfaction of him who inflicts (see Thayer, see word κ., and cf. Tr., Syn., § vii). But in late Gk. especially, the distinction is not always maintained (see reff. in Thayer)
