It often carries a moral connotation, indicating a disregard for God's commandments or divine order. In a broader sense, it can refer to those who live without regard for any legal or moral standards.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of law (nomos) was central to societal order and governance. The Jewish understanding of law was deeply rooted in the Torah, which was seen as God's revealed will for His people. To be "anomós" was to live in opposition to this divine order, often associated with Gentiles or those outside the covenant community. In the early Christian context, "anomós" could also refer to false teachers or those who distorted the gospel message.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 460</b> <i>anómōs</i> (an adverb) – <i>lawlessly</i>, acting without God's light (the <i>written</i> revelation of the Bible). <a href="/greek/460.htm">460</a> (<i>anómōs</i>) particularly refers to pagan behavior (perspective). <a href="/greek/458.htm">See 458</a> (<i>anomia</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>adverb from <a href="/greek/459.htm">anomos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>lawlessly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>without the law (2).<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 460: ἀνόμως</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνόμως</span></span>, adverb, <span class="accented">without the law</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἄνομος</span></span>, 1), <span class="accented">without a knowledge of the law</span>: <span class="greek2">ἀνόμως</span> <span class="greek2">ἁμαρτάνειν</span>, to sin in ignorance of the Mosaic law, <a href="/interlinear/romans/2-12.htm">Romans 2:12</a>; <span class="greek2">ἀπολλυσθαι</span> to perish, but not by sentence of the Mosaic law, ibid.
