Strong's Lexicon anaxios: Unworthy, undeserving Original Word: ἀνάξιος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and ἄξιος (axios, "worthy") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anaxios," the concept of unworthiness can be related to Hebrew words like "חָטָא" (chata, "to sin") and "אָשֵׁם" (asham, "guilty"), which convey a sense of moral failure or guilt before God. Usage: The Greek word "anaxios" is used to describe someone or something that is not worthy or deserving of a particular status, honor, or treatment. In the New Testament, it often conveys a moral or spiritual unworthiness, particularly in relation to God's standards or the reception of His grace. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, worthiness was often associated with social status, honor, and moral character. The concept of being "worthy" or "unworthy" was significant in both religious and social contexts. In the early Christian community, the term "anaxios" would have been understood in light of the transformative power of the Gospel, which calls individuals to recognize their unworthiness apart from Christ and their need for His redemptive work. HELPS Word-studies 370 anáksios (from 303 /aná, "up to the top" and 514 /áksios, "worth, as it corresponds to real value") – properly, tested and found wanting, i.e. not equal to the task; unworthy (unfit, inappropriate), falling short of what God says is valuable – (literally) "lacking a correspondence to real value."
