Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

μεμψίμοιρος. With μεμψίμοιροι, “complainers,” in Jude 15, cf. the guerulost of Assumption of Moses vii. 7, occurring in a passage which seems largely to have influenced Jude's language (see James’ Second Peter and Jude Ὁ. xiv. (in CG7)). The word is found in the sense of ‘‘censorious,” in Vett. Val. p. 1722, where it is joined with κολαστικός For ἀμεμψιμοίρητος, ‘blameless,’ see P Par 63% 14 (B.C. 164) δικαίως [πολι]τευσάμενος ἐμαυτὸν ἀμεμψιμοίρητον παρέσχημαι, and Caguat IV. 2888 (mid. ii/B.c.?) ἀμεμΨιμοίρητίος δὲ] ἐν πᾶσιν γεγενημένος, and for the adverb see P Ryl II. 1549 (a contract of marriage—Aa.D. 66) ἥ τε Θαισάριον kal 6 Χα[ι]ρήμων ἀμεμψιμοιρήτως καθότι πίρότερον [συ]νεβίουν. Teles p. 565 (ed. ΠΠεπΠ568) unites ἀπερίepyos and ἀμεμψίμοιρος. The verb μεμψιμοιρέω is found from the time of Polybius, e.g. xvill. 31. 7.
