It conveys the idea of being held accountable or subject to judgment. In the New Testament, it often refers to moral or legal culpability, particularly in the context of divine judgment or human legal systems.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of guilt was central to maintaining order and justice. The term "enochos" would have been understood in both Jewish and Gentile contexts as indicating a person who is answerable to a higher authority, whether human or divine. In Jewish law, guilt was associated with the need for atonement and reconciliation with God, often through sacrifices or other prescribed rituals.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1758.htm">enechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>held in, bound by, liable to (a condition, penalty or imputation)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deserves (1), deserving (1), guilty (6), liable (1), subject (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 1777: ἔνοχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔνοχος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἔνοχον</span>, equivalent to <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνεχόμενος</span>, one who is <span class="accented">held in</span> anything, so that he cannot escape; <span class="accented">bound, under obligation, subject to, liable</span>: with the genitive of the thing by which one is bound, <span class="greek2">δουλείας</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/2-15.htm">Hebrews 2:15</a>; used of one who is held by, possessed with, love and zeal for anything; thus <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">βιβλίων</span>, Sir. prolog. 9; with the dative <span class="greek2">τοῖς</span> <span class="greek2">ἐρωτικοις</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>; (on supposed distinctions in meaning between the construction with the genitive and with the dative (e. g.
