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.
