G1828

ἐξέλκω

exelkō

Verb · From ἐκ (G1537) and ἕλκω (G1670)

From G1537 and G1670; to drag forth, i.e. (figuratively) to entice (to sin):—draw away.

Outline

  1. to draw out
  2. metaph. lure forth: in hunting and fishing as game is lured from its hiding place, so man by lure is allured from the safety of self-restraint to sin. In Jas 1:14, the language of the hunting is transferred to the seduction of a harlot.
