It implies a state of being irreproachable or without blame, especially in the eyes of others. This word is often used to describe the qualifications of church leaders, emphasizing the importance of a good reputation and moral integrity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, reputation and public perception were crucial, especially for those in positions of authority or leadership. Being "anegklétos" meant that a person was not only innocent of wrongdoing but also perceived as such by the community. This was particularly important in the early Christian church, where leaders were expected to set an example for the congregation and maintain a witness to the surrounding society.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>410</b> <i>anégklētos</i> (from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and <a href="/greek/1458.htm">1458</a> <i>/egkaléō</i>, "making <i>legal charges</i> against someone in a court of <i>law</i>") – properly, <i>not</i> convictable when a person is <i>properly scrutinized</i> – i.e. tried with correct logic ("<i>legal reasoning</i>"), i.e. logic approved in a <i>court of law</i>.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/1458.htm">egkaleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>not to be called to account, unreprovable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>above reproach (2), beyond reproach (2), blameless (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 410: ἀνέγκλητος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνέγκλητος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀνέγκλητον</span> (alpha privative and <span class="greek2">ἐγκαλέω</span>, which see), <span class="accented">that cannot be called to account, unreprovable, unaccused, blameless</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/1-8.htm">1 Corinthians 1:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/colossians/1-22.htm">Colossians 1:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/3-10.htm">1 Timothy 3:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-6.htm">Titus 1:6</a>f (3Macc. 5:31; <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Demosthenes</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, others) (Cf. <span class="abbreviation">Trench</span>, § ciii.)<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>blameless. <p>From <a href="/greek/1.htm">a</a> (as a negative particle) and a derivative of <a href="/greek/1458.htm">egkaleo</a>; unaccused, i.e. (by implication) irreproachable -- blameless. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1.htm">a</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1458.htm">egkaleo</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>ανεγκλητοι ανέγκλητοι ἀνέγκλητοι ανεγκλητον ανέγκλητον ἀνέγκλητον ανεγκλητος ανέγκλητος ἀνέγκλητος ανεγκλητους ανεγκλήτους ἀνεγκλήτους ανείλησεν anenkletoi anenklētoi anénkletoi anénklētoi anenkleton anenklēton anénkleton anénklēton anenkletos anenklētos anénkletos anénklētos anenkletous anenklētous anenklḗtous<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_corinthians/1-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Corinthians 1:8</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Adjective -
