ἐναντίος, ἐναντία, ἐναντίον (ἀντίος set against) (from Homer down), properly, that which is over against; opposite; used:
1. primarily of place; opposite, contrary: of the wind (Xenophon, an. 4, 5, 3), Mat 14:24; Mar 6:48; Act 27:4; ἐξ ἐναντίας (Winers Grammar, 591 (550); Buttmann, 82 (71)), opposite, over against (see ἐκ, I. 4), with the genitive Mar 15:39.
2. metaphorically, opposed as an adrersary, hostile, antagonistic in feeling or act: 1Th 2:15 (on which passage (for confirmatory references to ancient authors) cf.

Neuter ἐναντίον, adverb, as a preposition is construction with the genitive (Buttmann, 319 (273)), before, in the sight of, in the presence of, one (so in Greek writings from Homer down; the Sept. often for ìÄôðÀéÅ and áÀÌòÅéðÅé also for ìÀòÅéðÅé): Mar 2:12 (T Tr marginal reading WH ἔμπροσθεν); Luk 20:26; Act 7:10 (ἐναντίον Φαραώ, when he stood before Pharaoh (here Tdf. ἔναντι, which see)); Act 8:32; Hebraistically, in the judgment, estimation, of one, Luk 24:19; (Luk 1:6 T Tr WH) (Gen 10:9, etc.).
