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.
