STRONGS NT 1751: ἔνειμι

ἔνειμι; (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.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "within") and the verb εἰμί (eimi, meaning "to be").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἔνειμι, the concept of God's presence or indwelling can be related to several Hebrew terms that describe God's presence or dwelling among His people. Some of these include:

H7931 שָׁכַן (shakan): To dwell, to settle, often used to describe God's dwelling among the Israelites.
H3427 יָשַׁב (yashab): To sit, to dwell, to remain, used in contexts of God's presence with His people.
H6965 קוּם (qum): To arise, to stand, sometimes used metaphorically to describe God's active presence or intervention.

These Hebrew terms, while not direct equivalents, share the thematic element of divine presence and indwelling, which is central to the understanding of ἔνειμι in the New Testament context.

Usage: The term ἔνειμι is used to describe the presence or existence of something within a particular context or location. It conveys the idea of being inherently present or existing within something else.

Context: The Greek term ἔνειμι is a compound word formed from the preposition ἐν and the verb εἰμί, which together convey the concept of being present or existing within a certain sphere or context. This term is not frequently used in the New Testament but carries significant theological implications when it appears. It emphasizes the indwelling presence or inherent existence of an entity within a particular domain.

In the context of the New Testament, ἔνειμι can be understood as describing the presence of God or the Holy Spirit within believers, highlighting the intimate and transformative relationship between the divine and the human. This presence is not merely external or superficial but is deeply rooted within the individual, affecting their thoughts, actions, and spiritual state.

The concept of ἔνειμι aligns with the broader biblical theme of God's immanence, where God is not distant or detached from His creation but actively present and involved in the lives of His people. This presence is a source of comfort, guidance, and empowerment for believers, enabling them to live out their faith in accordance with God's will.
