Liddell-Scott-Jones (1996) gives for ANTI, in composition, "...4. in return;
5. instead of; 6. equal to, like; 7. corresponding." (page 153)
Since LUTRON by itself means "ransom," it is reasonable to conclude that the
apostle may have had a more significant thought in mind when he used
ANTILUTRON. Any of LSJ's last four glosses may be relevant: a ransom in return
(for); instead of; equal to or like; or corresponding.

Greetings to All !
In 1 Timothy 2:6 we have the following verse in the Greek New
Testament,
“ hO DOUS EAUTON ANTILUTRON hUPER PANTWN, TO MARTURION KAIROIS
IDIOIS.”
My question is, does ANTILUTRON have the meaning of “corresponding
ransom” ?
Any help on this will be most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Harry Jones
