Strong's Lexicon ennomos: Under law, lawful, legal Original Word: ἔννομος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: ennomos Pronunciation: EN-no-mos Phonetic Spelling: (en'-nom-os) Definition: (a) legal, statutory, duly constituted, (b) under the law, obedient to the law. Meaning: • Lawful, legal, conforming to the law. • Pertaining to being within the bounds of law or custom. Word Origin: Derived from ἐν (en, "in") and νόμος (nomos, "law"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἔννομος, the concept is closely related to terms like תּוֹרָה (torah, Strong's Hebrew 8451), which means "law" or "instruction," and צַדִּיק (tsaddiq, Strong's Hebrew 6662), meaning "righteous" or "just," as these terms also convey the idea of living in accordance with divine law. This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term ἔννομος, emphasizing its significance in the context of biblical law and righteousness. Usage: • The term ἔννομος is used in the New Testament to describe something or someone that is in accordance with the law, particularly the Mosaic Law or the principles of God's law. Context: • The Greek term ἔννομος appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize adherence to the law. It is used to describe a state of being that aligns with legal or divine statutes. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἔννομος is found in passages that discuss the relationship between the law and the believer, highlighting the importance of living in a manner that is consistent with God's commandments. • In 1 Timothy 1:9, the term is used to explain that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious. This implies that the righteous, by nature of their conduct, are already living ἔννομος, or within the law. • The concept of being ἔννομος is significant in understanding the New Testament's teaching on the law's role in the life of a believer. It underscores the idea that while believers are not justified by the law, their lives should reflect the moral and ethical standards that the law upholds. • Theologically, ἔννομος can be seen as a descriptor of the new covenant relationship, where the law is written on the hearts of believers, enabling them to live in a way that is pleasing to God (cf. Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from en and nomos Definition legal, subject to (law) NASB Translation lawful (1), under the law (1).
