It implies a life lived in such a way that does not cause others to stumble in their faith or moral walk. This word emphasizes the importance of integrity and moral uprightness in the life of a believer.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, personal honor and reputation were highly valued. The concept of being "blameless" or "without offense" would resonate with the cultural emphasis on maintaining one's honor and avoiding actions that could bring shame or cause others to falter. In the early Christian community, this idea was further enriched by the call to live a life that reflects the teachings of Christ, serving as a witness to both believers and non-believers.<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/4350.htm">proskoptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>not causing to stumble, not stumbling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blameless (2), no offense (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 677: ἀπρόσκοπος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπρόσκοπος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπρόσκοπον</span> (<span class="greek2">προσκόπτω</span>, which see); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> actively, <span class="accented">having nothing for one to strike against; not causing to stumble</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly: <span class="greek2">ὁδός</span>, a smooth road, Sir. 35: (32) 21. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> metaphorically, <span class="accented">not leading others into sin by one's mode of life</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-32.htm">1 Corinthians 10:32</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> passively, <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">not striking against or stumbling; metaphorically, not led into sin; blameless</span>: <a href="/interlinear/philippians/1-10.htm">Philippians 1:10</a> (joined with <span class="greek2">εἰλικρινεῖς</span>). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">without offence</span>: <span class="greek2">συνείδησις</span>, not troubled and distressed by a consciousness of sin, <a href="/interlinear/acts/24-16.htm">Acts 24:16</a>.
