It encompasses the concept of mental perception and the capacity for reflective thought. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the inner workings of the mind, particularly in relation to moral and spiritual understanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "ennoia" was significant in philosophical discussions about the nature of thought and reason. Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle explored the idea of the mind's capacity to form concepts and intentions. In the context of the New Testament, "ennoia" reflects the Jewish understanding of the heart and mind as the center of moral and spiritual life, aligning with the Hebrew concept of "lev" (heart).<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1771</b> <i>énnoia</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i>, "<i>en</i>gaged <i>in</i>," which intensifies <a href="/greek/3563.htm">3563</a> <i>/noús</i>, "mind") – properly, the "engaged mind," i.e. what a person (literally) has "<i>in-mind</i>" (<i>BAGD</i>, "<i>in</i>sight"); settled (thought-out) opinions, attitudes.</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/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/3563.htm">nous</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>thinking, thoughtfulness, i.e. moral understanding<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>intentions (1), purpose (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 1771: ἔννοια</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔννοια</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐννοίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">νοῦς</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> the act of <span class="accented">thinking, consideration, meditation</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a thought, notion, conception</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, Phaedo, p. 73 c., etc.; especially in philosophical writings, as <span class="abbreviation">Cicero</span>, Tusc. 1, 24, 57; Acad. 2, 7 and 10; <span class="abbreviation">Epictetus</span> diss. 2, 11, 2f, etc.; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, plac. philos. 4, 11, 1; (<span class="abbreviation">Diogenes Laërtius</span> 3, 79). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">mind, understanding, will; manner of thinking and feeling</span>; German <span class="foreign">Gesinnung</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Hel. 1026; <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 2, 30 variant; <span class="greek2">τοιαύτην</span> <span class="greek2">ἔννοιαν</span> <span class="greek2">ἐμποίειν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Isocrates</span>, p. 112 d.; <span class="greek2">τήρησον</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἐμήν</span> <span class="greek2">βουλήν</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ἔννοιαν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/3-21.htm">Proverbs 3:21</a>; <span class="greek2">φυλάσσειν</span> <span class="greek2">ἔννοιαν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγαθήν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/5-2.htm">Proverbs 5:2</a>): so <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/4-1.htm">1 Peter 4:1</a>; plural with <span class="greek2">καρδίας</span> added (as in <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/23-19.htm">Proverbs 23:19</a>), <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
