ἀθέμιτος

Strong’s: G111

Associated OET lemmas: ἀθέμιτος

Notes: Though ἀθέμιτος may be regarded as meaning literally ‘pertaining to what is not allowed’ (13.144: ἀθέμιτος), it acquires by association not only the meaning of lawless (a meaning which is possibly applicable to OET PE1 4:3) but also disgusting or wanton in connection with idol worship. Such a semantic development is typical of what often happens when meanings shift from an objective to a subjective orientation.
