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.

The interpretation of Luke 11:41 πλὴν τὰ ἐνόντα δότε ἐλεημοσύνην, ";the contents of your cup and platter give in alms,"; may be supported by P Tebt II. 414.20 (ii/A.D.) τὸ σφυρίδιν μετὰ τῶν ἐνόντων κάτω, ";the little basket with its contents at the bottom"; : cf. P Magd 13.7 (B.C. 217) τὴν ἐφα ̣πτίδα, σὺν τῆι σακκοπήραι ἐν ἧι ἐνῆν, ";the mantle, with the bag which contained it,"; P Oxy II. 242.16 (A.D. 77) σὺν τοῖς ἐνοῦσι φορτίοις, ";with the fixtures they contain,"; ib. III. 506.27 (A.D. 143) σὺν τ ]οῖς ἐνοῦσι πᾶσι, ";with all their contents,"; ib. VI. 912.12 (A.D. 235) τὸ ἐνὸν κατάγειον, ";the cellar within it"; (sc. a house). See also P Oxy II. 268.18 (A.D. 58) ἐν δὲ τοῖς προκειμένοις οὐκ ἔνεστι σωματ (ισμός), ";in the above agreement there is no σωματισμός "; (a word of uncertain meaning), and PSI III. 184.6 (A.D. 292) καύματος ἐνόντος, where the context leads us to think of something in the nature of spontaneous combustion. See also s.v. ἔνι.
