A fragment from a poem, presumed to be by Pindar, mentions Persephone accepting " requital for ancient wrong ", from the dead, which might be a reference to humans'inherited responsibility for the Titan's killing of Dionysus.

According to Isidore of Seville, as he bled out Theudis called out that no one kill his murderer, " saying that he had received a requital agreeing with his own deserts, because he himself too as a private citizen had killed his leader ."

Grant this mercy, O Lord, we beseech Thee, to Thy servant departed, that he may not receive in punishment the requital of his deeds who in desire did keep Thy will, and as the true faith here united him to the company of the faithful, so may Thy mercy unite him above to the choirs of angels.

Gwyn's progress is ever onward and upward : he has written a politically correct utopian novel that has become an international best seller; he has married a fabulously beautiful and wealthy woman who's related to the Queen, and he has become the No . 1 favorite to win a prestigious literary prize called the Profundity Requital, which would guarantee him a cushy income for life.

Tull can still beat Gwyn at tennis and snooker, but precious little else : To go along with his mediocrity and good cheer, Barry has a trophy wife ( the daughter of an earl ), a bulging Filofax and a better-than-even chance at winning the Profundity Requital _ an inanely vulgar award ( named after a suspiciously similar French prize ) that will subsidize him for life.

A man said : " Allah's Messenger, which offence is the most grievous in Allah's eye ? " He replied : " That you associate a partner with Allah, who created you . " He said : " What next ? " He replied : " That you kill your child out of fear that he would join you in food . " He said : " What next ? " He replied : " That you commit adultery with your neighbour's wife . " And the Almighty and Exalted Lord testified it : " All those who call not unto another god along with Allah, and slay not any soul which Allah has forbidden, except in the cause of justice, nor commit fornication, and he who does this shall meet a requital of sin . " [ Qur'an 25 : 68]

All comfort and joy and requital and reward will be seen as emanating directly from God, with no screen or barrier in between, nor will there be left any room for any doubt . . . on that day every comfort and torment and pleasure and pain that mankind will experience shall proceed directly from the Divine Being and He will be in truth and in fact the sole Lord of Dispensation; that is to say nearness to Him or distance from Him will determine eternal happiness or everlasting misfortune, in the sense that on those who had believed in Him and had held fast to Divine Unity and had dyed their hearts with His pure love, the light of the mercy of that Perfect Being will descend clearly and manifestly, and those who did not have faith and did not experience Divine love, will be denied this joy and comfort and shall be in painful torment . " ( Commentary page 110)
