• Without Blemish

akin to momaomai (see BLAME , A), signifies (a) "a blemish" (Sept. only); (b) "a shame, a moral disgrace," metaphorical of the licentious, 2 Peter 2:13 .

"without blemish;" is always so rendered in the RV, Ephesians 1:4; 5:27; Philippians 2:15; Colossians 1:22; Hebrews 9:14; 1 Peter 1:19; Jude 1:24; Revelation 14:5 . This meaning is to be preferred to the various AV renderings, "without blame," Ephesians 1:4 , "unblameable," Colossians 1:22 , "faultless," Jude 1:24 , "without fault," Revelation 14:5 . The most authentic mss. have amomos, "without blemish," in Philippians 2:15 , for amometos, "without rebuke." In the Sept., in reference to sacrifices, especially in Lev. and Num., the Psalms and Ezek., "of blamelessness in character and conduct." See BLAME , FAULT.
