τὸ ἀνῆκον what is due, duty [R. V. befitting],
Philemon 1:8;
τὰ οὐκ ἀνήκοντα unbecoming, discreditable, Ephesians 5:4 (L T Tr WH ἃ οὐκ ἀνῆκεν, Winers Grammar, 486 (452); [Buttmann, 850 (301)]); impersonally,
ὡς ἀνῆκε as was fitting, namely, ever since ye were converted to Christ,
Colossians 3:18 [Winers Grammar, 270 (254); cf. Buttmann, 217 (187) and Bp. Lightfoot at the passage].
