The Greek adjective atopos means out of place, improper, or wicked — literally 'without a place' (a + topos). Paul asks prayer for deliverance 'from wicked (atopos) and evil people' (2 Thessalonians 3:2). The penitent thief on the cross declares Jesus has done nothing atopos — nothing wrong or out of place.
The penitent thief's declaration (Luke 23:41) is a remarkable confession: dying beside the Son of God, he sees with perfect clarity what the religious establishment missed. His request — 'Remember me when you come into your kingdom' — is the simplest expression of saving faith in the Gospels. Jesus' response: 'Today you will be with me in paradise.' No baptism, no long discipleship track — just recognition of who Jesus is and personal appeal to His mercy. The atopos-less One welcomes the wicked who call on His name.
