It conveys the idea of moral and spiritual purity, often in the context of being acceptable or pleasing to God. This term is frequently used to describe the character of Christ, the nature of the Church, and the desired state of believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek world, the concept of being "without blemish" was significant in religious and sacrificial contexts. Animals offered in sacrifice were required to be without physical defects, symbolizing purity and acceptability to the gods. In the Jewish tradition, the sacrificial system also demanded offerings that were "without blemish" (Leviticus 1:3). The New Testament writers adopted this imagery to describe the moral and spiritual purity required of believers and exemplified in Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>299</b> <i>ámōmos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "not" and <a href="/greek/3470.htm">3470</a> <i>/mṓmos</i>, "blemish") – properly, unblemished, without spot or blot (blight); (figuratively) morally, spiritually blameless, <i>unblemished</i> from the marring effects of sin.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 299a: ἄμωμον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄμωμον</span></span>, , <span class="greek2">τό</span>, <span class="accented">amomum,</span> a fragrant plant of India, having the foliage of the white vine (elsewhere, ampeloleuce) and seed, in clusters like grapes, from which ointment, was made (<span class="abbreviation">Pliny</span>, h. n. 12, 13 (28)): <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-13.htm">Revelation 18:13</a> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>.
