ἐχθρός

ἐχθρός
ἐχθρός, ά, όν (s. prec. entry; Hom.+) ‘hostile’
① pert. to being subjected to hostility, hated, pass. (Hom.; θεοῖς ἐ. since Hes., Theog. 766, also Pla., Rep. 1, 23, 352b; Epict. 3, 22, 91; Ael. Aristid. 28, 15 K.=49 p. 495 D.; Alciphron 3, 12, 5; Athen. 6, 225c; Achilles Tat. 7, 6, 3, likew. X., Cyr. 5, 4, 35 καὶ θεοῖς ἐ. καὶ ἀνθρώποις.—Philo, Spec. Leg. 3, 88 πᾶς ἐ. θεῷ) Ro 11:28, where the pass. sense becomes at least quite probable because of the contrast w. ἀγαπητός, otherwise the passage belongs in 2bα.
② pert. to being hostile, hating, hostile, act. (Pind., Hdt. et al.; LXX)
ⓐ adj. (X., An. 1, 3, 12; 20; PGM 36, 144; Sir 36:9; Jos., Ant. 11, 27; Just., D. 93, 2 ἐν συνειδήσεσιν ἐ.; Mel., P. 16, 110 al.) ἐ. ἄνθρωπος (Horapollo 2, 35) Mt 13:28. The position of ἐ. before ἄ. (difft. Esth 7:6) suggests that ἐ. is an adj. here, giving the sense hostile person; but ἄ. by itself could also serve to emphasize indefiniteness: some enemy = any enemy at all (s. EKlostermann, Hdb. ad loc.). Then this example would also belong to b.
ⓑ subst. (Hes., Pind.; PEdg 14 [=Sb 6720], 18 [257/256 B.C.]; LXX, En 103:12; Test12Patr, EpArist, Philo, Joseph.; SibOr 3, 727) ὁ ἐ. the (personal) enemy.

Enemies of God or Christ (Just., A I, 51, 1) Ro 5:10; 11:28 (but s. 1 above); 1 Cor 15:25; Col 1:21; 1 Cl 36:6. Death as the last enemy 1 Cor 15:26. The devil as enemy (cp. TestSol 1:2 D; TestJob 47:10; TestDan 6:3f; JosAs 12:8; GrBar 13:2; ApcMos 2:7 al. Mel., P. 102, 783) Lk 10:19; cp. Mt 13:39.
