Semantic Categories¶

1. Public Demonstration of Divine Righteousness¶

Rom 3:25 — "Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare [endeixis] his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Rom 3:26 — "To declare [endeixis], [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."

Both uses in Romans designate the purpose of the hilasterion: a visible, public demonstration. The noun functions as a purpose accusative — God set forth Christ for the purpose of an endeixis. The object demonstrated is dikaiosyne (righteousness).

2. Evidentiary Proof / Token¶

2 Cor 8:24 — "Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof [endeixis] of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf."
Phil 1:28 — "And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token [endeixis] of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God."

Here endeixis functions as concrete evidence visible to observers. In 2 Cor 8:24 it is proof displayed before the churches. In Phil 1:28 the believers' courage itself constitutes an endeixis — a sign readable by both adversaries and believers, pointing to opposite conclusions (perdition vs. salvation).
