Amemptos describes persons or a covenant as standing without fault in the setting named by the verse.

The attested use most often describes people whose conduct or standing is presented as without fault: believers before God, those walking in the Lord’s commands, and a person’s standing under the law. In Hebrews 8:7, the same description is applied instead to the first covenant, whose lack of fault would remove the need for another.

2. Without fault as applied to a covenant · rare

   Hebrews 8:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “blameless” for the personal contexts and “faultless” for the first covenant in Hebrews 8:7. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a separate lexical meaning in each instance.
