First, we need a working definition of this word that comes from the Bible.
Strong’s Concordance 423 Greek

Definition: without reproach
Usage: irreproachable, never caught doing wrong.
423 anepílēptos (from 1 /A “not” and 1949 /epilambánomai, “apprehend”) – properly, not apprehended (found wrong) when censured or attacked, i.e. without blame in light of the whole picture. Here the person (accuser) trying to seize someone’s character by unjustified censure is shown to be groundless, i.e. when the matter is understood in its full context.

This study once again is because most Christians don’t believe that you can live a victorious life this is to prove by a word study that’s not true.
Just a couple of examples to show you how to use this word study.
Notice if you will Luke chapter one verse 6 says that Elizabeth and Zacharias, John the Baptist parents we’re both righteous walking in all the commandments and blameless so apparently somebody in the Bible was living like they’re supposed to even in an Old Testament context.
Several other verses tell you that in a New Testament context that you can be blameless like the apostle Paul said in first Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 10 says that he and others were living like they’re supposed to.
Also, the Bible teaches how we need to be blameless whenever the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
See that in first Corinthians chapter one verse 8, first Thessalonians chapter 3 verse 13, first Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 23, second Peter chapter 3 verse 14.
