Strong's Lexicon anamartétos: Sinless, without sin Original Word: ἀναμάρτητος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀν- (an-, "not") and the root word ἁμαρτάνω (hamartanō, "to sin") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anamartétos," the concept of sinlessness can be related to Hebrew terms such as "תָּם" (tam, Strong's H8535), meaning "blameless" or "innocent," and "צַדִּיק" (tzaddik, Strong's H6662), meaning "righteous." Usage: The term "anamartétos" is used to describe a state of being without sin or guilt. It is an adjective that denotes moral purity and the absence of wrongdoing. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the sinlessness of an individual, often in the context of moral or spiritual discussions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, concepts of sin and moral purity were often discussed in philosophical and religious contexts. The Jewish understanding of sin, rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasized the need for atonement and righteousness before God. The New Testament writers, drawing from this background, used terms like "anamartétos" to articulate the Christian understanding of sinlessness, particularly in relation to Jesus Christ and His redemptive work.
