ἐλλογ-έω G1677
charge to account, reckon, impute
This verb means to charge to one's account, reckon, or impute. Romans 5:13 states that sin is not charged where there is no law, and Philemon 18 has Paul asking that any wrong be charged to his account. The word combines 'in' and 'reckon,' suggesting entry in an account ledger. It's used for both financial accounting and metaphorical imputation of responsibility.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Referring to crediting or charging something to an account, this sense uses accounting imagery for moral and relational reckoning. Romans 5:13 discusses the theological principle that sin isn't formally charged without law's clear standard, while Philemon 18 uses commercial language for Paul's willingness to assume Onesimus' debts. Both emphasize formal attribution of responsibility. 2×
