Strong's Lexicon anosios: Unholy, profane, impious Original Word: ἀνόσιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-), meaning "not," and ὅσιος (hosios), meaning "holy" or "pious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anosios," the concept of unholiness can be related to Hebrew terms such as טָמֵא (tamei, Strong's H2931), meaning "unclean," and חָלַל (chalal, Strong's H2490), meaning "profane" or "defile." Usage: The term "anosios" is used in the New Testament to describe that which is contrary to the sacred or holy. It denotes a lack of reverence or respect for what is considered holy or sacred. In a broader sense, it can refer to actions, attitudes, or individuals that are morally or spiritually corrupt. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of holiness was often associated with religious rituals and the gods. The term "hosios" was used to describe what was in accordance with divine law or sacred. Therefore, "anosios" would have been understood as a serious deviation from accepted religious and moral standards. In the Jewish context, holiness was central to the covenant relationship with God, and anything "unholy" was seen as defiling and separating one from God.
