What it means

What the word means, in the words of the lexicons out of copyright — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones, wherever each has an entry for it.

* ἀν-επί-λημπτος (Rec. -λμπτος; Bl., § 6, 8), -ον

(< ἀ-, ἐπιλαμβάνω),

without reproach: I Ti 3:2 5:7 6:14.†

SYN.: ἄμεμπτος, ἀνέγκλητος. It is stronger than these, for it implies not only that the man is of good report, but that he is deservedly so (cf. MM, VGT, s.v.).
