Strong's Lexicon anaitios: Innocent, blameless, not guilty Original Word: ἀναίτιος Word Origin: From Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") + αἴτιος (aitios, "guilty" or "responsible") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anaitios," the concept of innocence can be related to Hebrew words like "נָקִי" (naqiy, Strong's H5355), meaning "innocent" or "free from guilt." Usage: The Greek word "anaitios" is used to describe someone who is free from guilt or blame. It conveys the idea of being innocent or not responsible for wrongdoing. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the absence of culpability or fault in a person or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, concepts of guilt and innocence were central to legal and moral discussions. The term "anaitios" would have been understood in the context of legal innocence, where a person is declared not guilty of charges brought against them. In Jewish culture, the idea of innocence was also significant, particularly in relation to the Law and righteousness before God.
