Strong's Lexicon anaxiós: Unworthy, not deserving Original Word: ἀνάξιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and ἄξιος (axios, "worthy") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anaxiós," the concept of unworthiness can be related to Hebrew terms like אָשֵׁם (asham, "guilty") or חָטָא (chata, "to sin"). Usage: The term "anaxiós" is used to describe someone or something that is not worthy or deserving of a particular status, honor, or treatment. In the New Testament, it often conveys a moral or spiritual unworthiness, particularly in relation to God's standards or the reception of His grace. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, worthiness was often associated with social status, honor, and moral character. The concept of being "worthy" or "unworthy" was significant in both civic and religious contexts. In the New Testament, this term is used to contrast human inadequacy with the holiness and grace of God, emphasizing the need for humility and repentance.
