It is used to denote the act of bringing a charge or the charge itself, often implying a serious allegation that requires a defense or response.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of bringing formal accusations was a common practice. Accusations could be made in both civil and criminal cases, and the process often involved public hearings or trials. The term "egkléma" would have been understood in this context as part of the judicial proceedings where individuals were held accountable for their actions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1458.htm">egkaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an accusation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>accusation (1), charges (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1462: ἔγκλημα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔγκλημα</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3), <span class="greek2">ἐγκλήματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐγκαλέω</span>), <span class="accented">accusation</span>: the <span class="accented">crime</span> of which one is accused, <a href="/interlinear/acts/25-16.htm">Acts 25:16</a>; <span class="greek2">ἔγκλημα</span> <span class="greek2">ἔχειν</span>, to have laid to one's charge, be accused of a crime, <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-29.htm">Acts 23:29</a>.
