Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Gainsay, Gainsayer, Gainsaying:

"to contradict, oppose," lit., "say against," is translated "gainsaying" in Rom 10:21; Tts 2:9, RV (AV, "answering again"), of servants in regard to masters; in Tts 1:9 "gainsayers." Moulton and Milligan (Vocab.) illustrate from the papyri "the strong sense of antilego in Rom 10:21, 'contradict,' 'oppose'."
