Team definition
A noun for a debtor, with the genitive of what is owed or of the person owed. It is also used more broadly of someone under an obligation. Rom 15:27 uses it of Gentiles as debtors in relation to those whose spiritual things they have shared. The entry names that obligation in the verse; it does not decide how the debt is discharged.
