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: Guilty, liable, subject to Meaning: involved in, held in, hence: liable, generally with dat. (or gen.) of the punishment. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἔχω (echō), meaning "to have" or "to hold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of guilt or liability is אָשֵׁם (asham), Strong's Hebrew #816, which refers to guilt or a guilt offering. Usage: The Greek word "enochos" is used to describe someone who is guilty or liable for a particular action or consequence. It conveys the idea of being held accountable or subject to judgment. In the New Testament, it often refers to moral or legal culpability, particularly in the context of divine judgment or human legal systems. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of guilt was central to maintaining order and justice. The term "enochos" would have been understood in both Jewish and Gentile contexts as indicating a person who is answerable to a higher authority, whether human or divine. In Jewish law, guilt was associated with the need for atonement and reconciliation with God, often through sacrifices or other prescribed rituals.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1777: ἔνοχος ἔνοχος, ἔνοχον, equivalent to ὁ ἐνεχόμενος, one who is held in anything, so that he cannot escape; bound, under obligation, subject to, liable: with the genitive of the thing by which one is bound, δουλείας, Hebrews 2:15; used of one who is held by, possessed with, love and zeal for anything; thus τῶν βιβλίων, Sir. prolog. 9; with the dative τοῖς ἐρωτικοις, Plutarch; (on supposed distinctions in meaning between the construction with the genitive and with the dative (e. g. '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. Bleek, Br. an d. Hebrew ii. 1, p. 340f; (Winers Grammar, 210 (198)). f. by a use unknown to Greek writers it is connected with εἰς and the accusative of the place where the punishment is to be suffered: εἰς τήν γηνναν τοῦ πυρός, a pregnant construction (Winers Grammar, 213 (200); 621 (577)) (but 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.
