Summary
ἀδικεĩν occurs 26 times in the NT and invariably means ‘do wrong to, injure, harm’ someone or something: Mt. 20.13; Lk. 10.19; Acts 7.24, 26, 27; 25.10, 11; 1 Cor. 6.7 (passive), 8; 2 Cor. 7.2, 12, 12 (passive); Gal. 4.12; Col. 3.25, 25; Philem. 18; 2 Pet. 2.13 (passive); Rev. 2.11 (passive); 6.6; 7.2, 3; 9.4, 10, 19; 11.5; 22.11. It occurs with δíκαιος and δικαιοσúνη in Rev. 22.11, where the ill-attested alternative reading δικαιωθήτω must mean ‘be righteous’, ethically.
αδικíα occurs 25 times, all ethical: Lk. 13.27; 16.8,9; 18.6;Jn7.18; Acts 1.18; 8.23; Rom. 1.18, 18, 29; 2.8; 3.5; 6.13; 9.14; 1 Cor. 13.6; 2 Cor. 12.13; 2 Thess. 2.10, 12; 2 Tim. 2.19; Heb. 8.12; Jas 3.6; 2 Pet. 2.13, 15; 1 Jn 1.9; 5.17. Of these, 5 are in conjunction with δικαιοσúνη: Rom. 1.18, 18; 3.5; 6.13; 1 Jn 1.9. As well as being ethical, 16 are in clear (but of course wrong) relation to God, that is all except Lk. 16.8, 9; 18.6; Rom. 9.14; 1 Cor. 13.6; 2 Cor. 12.13; Jas 3.6; 2 Pet. 2.13, 15.
ἅδικος occurs 12 times, all ethical: Mt. 5.45; Lk. 16.10, 10, 11; 18.11; Acts 24.15; Rom. 3.5; 1 Cor. 6.1, 9; Heb. 6.10; 1 Pet. 3.18; 2 Pet. 2.9.
