Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἄνομος (anomos), meaning "lawless" or "without law." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of lawlessness in the Old Testament is often associated with the Hebrew word עָוֹן (avon, Strong's H5771), which is commonly translated as "iniquity" or "guilt." Another related term is פֶּשַׁע (pesha, Strong's H6588), meaning "transgression" or "rebellion." Both terms convey a sense of moral wrongdoing and violation of God's law, paralleling the New Testament understanding of ἀνομία. Usage: The word ἀνομία is used in the New Testament to describe actions or conditions that are contrary to God's law. It often conveys a sense of moral or spiritual rebellion against God's established order. Context: The Greek term ἀνομία appears in several New Testament passages, highlighting the concept of lawlessness as a significant moral and spiritual issue. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνομία is often translated as "lawlessness" or "iniquity," emphasizing the absence of adherence to God's commandments. In Matthew 7:23, Jesus warns that He will declare to those who practice lawlessness, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!" This underscores the seriousness of living in opposition to God's will, as it results in separation from Christ. Similarly, in Matthew 24:12, Jesus predicts that "because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold." Here, ἀνομία is associated with a societal increase in sin and moral decay, leading to a decline in genuine love and righteousness. The Apostle Paul also addresses ἀνομία in his epistles. In 2 Thessalonians 2:7, he speaks of the "mystery of lawlessness" already at work, which will culminate in the revelation of the "lawless one." This passage connects ἀνομία with eschatological themes, indicating a future intensification of rebellion against God. In 1 John 3:4, the apostle John provides a clear definition: "Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness." This equates sin with ἀνομία, reinforcing the idea that any deviation from God's law is inherently sinful. Throughout the New Testament, ἀνομία serves as a warning against the dangers of ignoring or rejecting divine law. It calls believers to live in obedience to God's commandments, recognizing that lawlessness leads to spiritual alienation and judgment.
