STRONGS NT 1762: ἔνι

ἔνι equivalent to ἔνι, the accent being thrown back, same as ἐν, used adverbially (Winer's Grammar, § 50, 7 N. 2) for ἐνεστι, is in, is among, has place, is present (Homer, Odyssey 21, 218; Thucydides 2, 40): Galatians 3:28 (three times); Colossians 3:11; James 1:17; with addition of ἐν ὑμῖν, 1 Corinthians 6:5 (where Rec. ἐστιν); in secular authors from Sophocles and Thucydides on very often, it can be, is possible, is lawful; (here some would place James, the passage cited). The opinion of many (e. g. Fritzsche on Mark, p. 642; Meyer on Galatians, the passage cited; cf. Ellicott ibid.) that ἔνι is a contracted form for ἐνεστι is opposed by the like use of παρά, ἀνά, which can hardly be supposed to be contracted from πάρεστι, ἀνεστι; cf. Krüger, § 9, 11, 4; Winers Grammar, 80 (77); Göttling, Lehre v., Accent etc., p. 380; (Chandler § 917f; Buttmann, 72 (64); Lob. Path. Element. ii. 315).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἐν (en), meaning "in" or "within."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek adverb ἐνί, the concept of existence or presence is often conveyed in Hebrew through various terms depending on the context. Some related Hebrew words include יֵשׁ (yesh, Strong's 3426), meaning "there is" or "there exists," and בְּתוֹךְ (betokh, Strong's 8432), meaning "in the midst of" or "within." These terms similarly express the idea of presence or existence within a particular setting.

Usage: The word ἐνί is used in the New Testament to express the existence or presence of something within a specific context. It is relatively rare and appears in contexts emphasizing the presence or absence of certain qualities or conditions.

Context: The Greek term ἐνί (ení) is a nuanced adverb that appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of existence or presence within a particular framework. It is often used to highlight the presence or absence of distinctions or differences among people, especially in the context of spiritual unity and equality in Christ.

One notable usage of ἐνί is found in Galatians 3:28 (BSB): "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Here, ἐνί underscores the absence of division within the body of Christ, emphasizing the unity and equality of all believers regardless of ethnic, social, or gender distinctions.

The term serves to reinforce the theological principle that in Christ, traditional barriers and distinctions are transcended, creating a new identity and community grounded in faith. This usage reflects the transformative nature of the gospel, which unites diverse individuals into a single, cohesive body.
