Lexicon :: Strong's G1751 - eneimi

ἔνειμι; (εἰμί); [from Homer down]; to be in: τὰ ἐνόντα what is within, i. e. the soul, Luke 11:41 (equivalent to τὸ 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 (τὰ ἐνόντα accusative absolute), give alms (to the needy), and behold all things are clean unto you (in your opinion)'; cf. Bornemann at the passage. Most interpreters think τὰ ἐνόντα to be the things that are within the cup and the platter [object accusative after δότε, with ἐλεημ. as predicate accusative), and to be spoken of unjustly acquired riches to be expended in charity. [Still others (following the same construction) take τὰ 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 ἔνεστι; but see below under ἔνι.
