Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-), meaning "not," and θῷος (thṓos), meaning "punishable" or "guilty."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of innocence in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed through words such as נָקִי (naqiy, Strong's Hebrew 5355), meaning "innocent" or "free from guilt," and זַכָּא (zakah, Strong's Hebrew 2135), meaning "to be clear" or "to be pure." These terms similarly convey the idea of being free from blame or wrongdoing, aligning with the Greek understanding of ἀθῷος. Usage: The term ἀθῷος is used in the New Testament to describe a state of being free from guilt or blame, often in a legal or moral context. It emphasizes the absence of culpability or wrongdoing. Context: The Greek word ἀθῷος appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of innocence, particularly in legal or moral situations. This term is used to describe individuals who are deemed not guilty of any crime or sin. In the context of the New Testament, ἀθῷος underscores the importance of righteousness and purity in the eyes of God and human authorities.
