Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ἔν-ειμι ; (etn); [fr. Hom. down]; to be in: τὰ ἐνόντα what is within, i. e. the soul, Lk. xi. 41 (equiv. to τὸ ἔσωθεν ὑμῶν, vs. 39); this is to be regarded as an ironical exhortation (similar to that in Amos iv. 4) adjusted to the Pharisees’ own views: ‘as-respects your soul (τὰ ἐνόντα ace. absol.), give alms (to the needy), and behold all things are clean unto you (in your opinion)’; cf. Bornemann ad loc. Most interpreters think τὰ ἐνόντα to be the things that are within the cup and the platter (obj. ace. after δότε, with ἐλεημ. as pred. acc. ], and to be spoken of unjustly acquired riches to be expended in charity. [Still others (following the same construction) take ra ἐνόντα (sc. δοῦναι) in the sense of the things within your power, (R. V.mrg. which ye can); cf. Steph. Thesaur. ' s. v. col. 1055 a.; but see Mey. ed. Weiss ad loe.] Moreover, in the opinion of many ἔνι, [1 Co. vi. 5 GLT Tr WH; Jas. i. 17;] Gal. iii. 28; Col. 111. 11 ete., is contracted from ἔνεστι; but see below under ἔνι. ἢ

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔνειμι. The interpretation of Lk 1141 πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, ““1Π6 contents of your cup and platter give in alms,” may be supported by P Tebt II. 414° (ii/a.p.) τὸ σφυρίδιν μετὰ τῶν ἐνόντων κάτω, “the little basket with its contents at the bottom”: cf. P Magd 137(B.c. 217) τὴν ἐφαπτίδα, σὺν τῆι σακκοπήραι ἐν ἧι ἐνῆν, “the mantle, with the bag which contained it,” P Oxy II. 242!® (a.p. 77) σὺν τοῖς ἐνοῦσι φορτίοις, “with the fixtures they contain,” 76. 111. 50677 (A.D. 143) σὺν τ]οῖς ἐνοῦσι πᾶσι, ‘with all their contents,” 76. VI. 9121? (A.D. 235) τὸ ἐνὸν κατάγειον, “ἐπε cellar within it” (sc. a house), See also P Oxy II. 26818 (A.D. 58) ἐν δὲ τοῖς προκειμένοις οὐκ ἔνεστι σωματίισμός), “in the above agreement there is no σωματισμός " (a word of uncertain meaning), and PSI IU. 184§ (a.p. 292) καύματος ἐνόντος, where the context leads us to think of something in the nature of spontaneous combustion. See also s.v. ἔνι. ἕνεκα, ἕνεκεν, εἵνεκεν. For ἕνεκα which is found only gzater in the NT (Mt 108, Lk 633. Ac 19%, 2621), cf. P Lond 4214 (B.c. 168) (= I. P- 30, Sevectzons, p. 10) €[ve]ka τοῦ ἐκ TOD το[ιού]του καιροῦ ἐμαυτή[ν] τε kal τὸ παιδίον cov διακεκυβερνηκυῖα, P Oxy X. 129316! (A.D. 117-38) τοῦτο οὐχ ἕνεκα ἡμῶν ποιῶ ἀλλὰ ἕνεκα τῶν καμηλειτῶν, 26. IIT. 533% (ii/iii Α.10.) ἕνεκα τῆς προσόδου, ‘about the revenue.’’ The form ἕνεκεν, which prevails from iii/B.c. onwards, and is probably Ionic in origin (cf. Thumb He//en. p. 57), may be illustrated from P Petr III. | 36(a) verso 27 (iii/B.c.) τῆς “Διοφάνους οὖν ἀκριβείας ἕνεκεν ἀπήχθην, P Flor II. 158° (iii/a.p.) ἕνεκεν [ava }ykatas Χρείας, 74. 163° (iii/A.D.) ἕνεκεν ὑμῶν φρόντισον, P Meyer 23" (end iv/aA.D.) ἕνεκεν ἀργυρίου, and before a consonant in the late P Oxy VI. 9021? (c. A.D. 465) els τελείαν yap ἀνατροπὴν... περιέστην ἕνεκεν τοῦ προειρημένου πολιτενομένου, ““1 have been reduced to complete ruin through the aforesaid member of the council” (Edd.), 23. 943° (vi/A.D.) ἀπελθεῖν els δίαιταν ἕνεκεν τοῦ λουτροῦ, ‘to come to arbitration with respect to the bath.’”’ In all these instances ἕνεκεν precedes the subst., as generally in the NT: cf. Blass-Debrunner Gr. ὃ 216. 1. On a corresponding usage in the Attic inscrr. see Meisterhans Gy. p. 217 where it is stated that in ii/B.c. the relation of ἕνεκα : ἕνεκεν = 4:22: cf. also Thieme p. 8, and Rouffiac Recherches, p. 22. For the forms otvexa,—ev, see P Petr II. 19 (1a)* οὕνεκα τοῦ θεοῦ Kal τοῦ καλῶς ἔχοντος, “in the name of God and of fair play” (Ed.), P Hib I. 170 (B.c. 247) τούτου yap οὕνεκεν πρὸ πολλοῦ σοι γράφω, and for εἵνεκεν, as in Lk 415, Ac 2820. cf. Pretsigke 1568 (time of Euergetes II., B.c. 145116) εὐνοίας εἵνεκεν τῆς πρὸς αὑτούς, P Giss I. gol 2! (A.D. 212-5) κατάγειν θυσίας εἵνεκεν ταύρους kal ἄλλα τινὰ ἔνψ[υ]χα : the form εἵνεκα occurs in an epigram regarding Homer’s birthplace, Osty 1148* (ii/B.c.)— Biver’ ἐμῆς δόξης φίασὶ] τεκεῖν με πόλεις.
