UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

Sense 1: impossible

Semantic entry: 71.5

Semantic domains: Mode

Subdomains: Possible, Impossible

Definition: pertaining to not being possible, in the sense of not being in accord with human experience

Notes: In view of the double negation in RV LUK 17:1 · LV LUK 17:1 · Read together LUK 17:1, it may be better to translate ‘things that make people fall into sin are bound to happen.’ The derivative meaning of ἀνένδεκτος in the context of RV LUK 17:1 · LV LUK 17:1 · Read together LUK 17:1 is thus a matter of inevitability as based upon human experience (see 71.38: ἀνάγκη).
