Strong's Lexicon enochos: Guilty, liable, subject to Original Word: ἔνοχος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: enochos Pronunciation: eh'-no-khos Phonetic Spelling: (en'-okh-os) Definition: involved in, held in, hence: liable, generally with dat. (or gen.) of the punishment. Meaning: The term "ἔνοχος" generally means "liable," "guilty," or "subject to." It conveys the idea of being bound or held accountable for something, often in a legal or moral sense. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "ἔχω" (echo, meaning "to have" or "to hold"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of being liable or guilty in the Hebrew Scriptures is often expressed with terms such as אָשֵׁם (asham, Strong's Hebrew 816), which conveys guilt or culpability, particularly in the context of sin and trespass offerings. Another related term is חָטָא (chata, Strong's Hebrew 2398), meaning to sin or miss the mark, which also carries the implication of guilt before God. These Hebrew terms provide a foundational understanding of guilt and accountability that is further developed in the New Testament usage of "ἔνοχος." Usage: The word "ἔνοχος" is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is guilty or liable to judgment or punishment. It appears in contexts where moral or legal accountability is emphasized. Context: The Greek term "ἔνοχος" is used in the New Testament to denote a state of being liable or guilty, often in relation to divine or legal judgment. It appears in several key passages that highlight the seriousness of moral and spiritual accountability. • Matthew 5:21-22 (BSB): In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus expands the understanding of the commandment against murder, stating that even anger towards a brother makes one "liable to judgment" (ἔνοχος τῇ κρίσει). This usage underscores the internalization of the law, where not only actions but also intentions and emotions are subject to divine scrutiny. • Mark 3:29 (BSB): Here, Jesus warns against blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, stating that such a sin renders one "guilty of an eternal sin" (ἔνοχος ἐστὶν αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος). This passage highlights the gravity of certain sins and the eternal consequences they carry. • James 2:10 (BSB): The epistle of James emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the law, stating that whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at one point is "guilty of breaking all of it" (ἔνοχος πάντων). This illustrates the holistic demand of the law and the universal need for grace. The concept of "ἔνοχος" in these passages reflects a deep understanding of human accountability before God, where both actions and inner dispositions are subject to divine judgment. It serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance and redemption.

'the construction with the dative expresses liability, that with the genitive carries the meaning further and implies either the actual or the rightful hold.' Green) see Schäfer on Demosth. see p. 323; cf. Winers Grammar, § 28, 2; Buttmann, 170 (148)). As in Greek writings, chiefly in a forensic sense, denoting the connection of a person either with his crime, or with the penalty or trial, or with that against whom or which he has offended; so a. absolutely guilty, worthy of punishment: Leviticus 20:9, 11, 13, 16, 27; 1 Macc. 14:45. b. with the genitive of the thing by the violation of which guilt is contracted, guilty of anything: τοῦ σώματος καί τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ κυρίου, guilty of a crime committed against the body and blood of the Lord, 1 Corinthians 11:27 (see Meyer; Winer's Grammar, 202 (190f)); πάντων, namely, ἐνταλμάτων, James 2:10; οἱ ἔνοχοί σου, Isaiah 54:17. c. with the genitive of the crime: αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος (an eternal sin), Mark 3:29 L T Tr text WH; (τῶν βιαίων, Plato, legg. 11, 914 e.; κλοπῆς, Philo de Jos. § 37; ἱεροσυλίας, 2 Macc. 13:6; Aristotle, oec. 2 (p. 1349{a}, 19), and in other examples; but much more often in the classics with the dative of the crime; cf. Passow or (Liddell and Scott) under the word). d. with the genitive of the penalty: θανάτου, Mark 14:64; Matthew 26:66; Genesis 26:11; αἰωνίου κρίσεως, Mark 3:29 Rec.; δεσμοῦ (others, dative), Demosthenes, p. 1229, 11. e. with the dative of the tribunal; liable to this or that tribunal i. e. to punishment to he imposed by this or that tribunal: τῇ κρίσει, τῷ συνεδρίῳ, Matthew 5:21f; ἔνοχος γραφή, to be indicted, Xenophon, mem. 1, 2, 64; cf.

Buttmann, 170 (148) (who regards it as a vivid circumlocution for the dative; cf. Green, Critical Notes (at the passage) 'liable as far' in respect of penal consequence 'as the fiery G.')) viz. to go away or be cast into etc. Matthew 5:22.
