Strong's Lexicon anomia: Lawlessness, iniquity, transgression Original Word: ἀνομία Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἄνομος (anomos), meaning "lawless" or "without law." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5771 (עָוֹן, avon): Iniquity, guilt, punishment of iniquity. - H6588 (פֶּשַׁע, pesha): Transgression, rebellion, sin. Usage: In the New Testament, "anomia" refers to a state of being without law, or more specifically, living in violation of God's law. It denotes a willful disregard for God's commandments and a lifestyle characterized by sin and rebellion against divine order. The term is often used to describe moral and spiritual corruption, highlighting the contrast between God's holiness and human sinfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, law and order were highly valued, and the concept of "anomia" would have been understood as a serious breach of societal norms. In the Jewish context, the law (Torah) was central to religious life, and "anomia" would signify a grave departure from God's covenantal expectations. The early Christian community, emerging from these cultural backgrounds, viewed "anomia" as a fundamental opposition to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.
