A REMINDER, A WARNING, AND AN EXHORTATION (Continued from page 546) “Wrest”- 8 (Strebloo) 2 Pet. 3:16 This word means “to wrench,” to “control by a wind lass.” It comes from “strepho” which means to twist or reverse, and is rendered “turned back” in calling attention ito Israel’s backsliding in turning back to Egypt (Acts 7: 39). To put the Word of God on the rack of man’s corrupt mind is for the man to make it say the opposite to the divine intjent. “Sleight”— (Kubeia) Eph. 4:14 “Sleight” means “to gamble with dice.” The word comes from “kubos,” a cube— a die for playing, hence it is a means to defraud. The Word of God may be .used as an instru ment to deceive others, when it is made to serve man’s evil purpose and as a hobby-horse for the aggrandizement of self and self-interest. “Tossed To and Fro”-^-(Kludonizomai) Eph. 4:14 The figure suggested is of surging water as seen in the fluctuating billows of the sea. What a striking contrast between the compactness of the unity of the human body, and the fluctuating of the surging billow? These are the illustrations used to show the difference between those who are deceived by the windy doctrines of men, and those who are ballasted by the weighty Word of God. “Itching”— (Knetho) 2 Tim. 4:3 To have “itching ears” signifies that someone is tickling them, for the word “itching” means “to tickle.” “Knoo,” from which “Knetho” is derived, means to scrape. The words of men tickle the ears by their pleasant sound and their flattering compliments, but the healthy teaching of the Spirit searches the heart to discover the evil, and saves the individual, by leading to Christ. Beware of the devil’s ear- ticklers! “Unskilful”— (Apeiros) Heb. 5:13 To be unskilful in the “Word of righteousness” is to be> devoid of experience (see margin) like a babe. The only thing that can give ,us wisdom and experience is what Paul said to Timothy, namely, “The Holy Scriptures” (2 Tim. 3 :1 5 ), and these will make us to be like a thoroughly fitted vessel starting on a voyage (2 Tim. 3 :1 6 ). “Slip”— (Pararrueo) Heb. 2:1 The reference is anything flowing past a point of vantage. The swimmer passes a given point by active movement, but that is not the thought suggested by “slip.” The R.. V. gives ‘‘drift away,” and that is the thought, suggesting at once a passive and careless boatman being carried on by the current past the place of safety. How easy it is to drift with the stream of current opinion, but how blessed to be moored to the quay of God’s impregnable rock. “Moved Away”-H(Metakineo) Col. 1:23 To be “moved away” means to be stirred from where we are into another place. To be “grounded in the faith” like a well-rooted tree, and to be “settled” like a building rest ing on a good foundation, is the acme of an ideal condition; but to be “moved away” is to be the puppet of the evil one and to be found in the Doubting Castle of Despair.
