Greek word · Strong's G1538

ἕκαστος

hékastos · word · “each, every”

In a sentence

Hekastos means each, every — one by one. It guards the personal dimension of God's work: "each one shall give account of himself to God."

Hekastos resists collapsing into the abstract. The kingdom does not deal in averages; it deals in persons, one at a time.

Paul uses it for the body of Christ — "to each (hekastō) one a manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good" — and for the Last Day, when each will answer for himself.
