Pronounced: an'-om-os

Literally, a [1] “without” or “no” and nomos [3551] “law”; lawless, that is, (negatively) not subject to (the Jewish) law; (by implication a Gentile), or (positively) wicked in God’s eyes. (Note how the definition given contradicts the literal meaning. When this word is understood in the context of New Testament teachings regarding a believer’s deliverance from the law, the better understanding is that of “no outside source by which to order one’s life and actions.” “Anomos,” like the closely related anomia, [485] lawlessness, is succinctly captured in the phrase “what is right in one’s own eyes.” -ng)
