It is a rare term, appearing only once in the New Testament. Context: The Greek word ἀναμάρτητος is found in the New Testament in the context of moral and spiritual purity. It is used in John 8:7, where Jesus addresses the accusers of a woman caught in adultery. He challenges them by saying, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her." Here, ἀναμάρτητος underscores the concept of sinlessness, highlighting the universal human condition of sinfulness and the need for grace and forgiveness.

The passage reflects the broader biblical theme of mercy triumphing over judgment and the call for self-examination before condemning others.
