STRONGS NT 1751: ἔνειμιἔνειμι; (
εἰμί); (from
Homer down);
to be in:
τά ἐνόντα what is within, i. e. the soul,
Luke 11:41 (equivalent to
τό ἔσωθεν ὑμῶν,
Luke 11:39); this is to be regarded as an ironical exhortation (similar to that in
Amos 4:4) adjusted to the Pharisees' own views: 'as respects your soul (
τά ἐνόντα accusative absolutely), give alms (to the needy), and behold all things are clean unto you (in your opinion)'; cf. Bornemann at the passage. Most interpreters think
τά ἐνόντα to be
the things that are within the cup and the platter (object accusative after
δότε, with
ἐλεημοσύνην as predicate accusative), and to be spoken of unjustly acquired riches to be expended in charity. (Still others (following the same construction) take
τά ἐνόντα (namely,
δοῦναι) in the sense of
the things within your power, (
R. V. marginal reading
which ye can); cf.
Stephanus' Thesaurus, under the word, col. 1055 a.; but see Meyer edition Weiss at the passage) Moreover, in the opinion of many
ἔνι, (
1 Corinthians 6:5 G L T Tr WH;
James 1:17;)
Galatians 3:28;
Colossians 3:11 etc., is contracted from
ἐνεστι; but see below under
ἔνι.
