(Strong's #5343 — Verb — pheugo — fyoo'-go )

"to flee from or away" (Lat., fugio; Eng., "fugitive," etc.), besides its literal significance, is used metaphorically, (a) transitively, of "fleeing" fornication, 1 Corinthians 6:18; idolatry, 1 Corinthians 10:14; evil doctrine, questionings, disputes of words, envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, wranglings, and the love of money, 1 Timothy 6:11; youthful lusts, 2 Timothy 2:22; (b) intransitively, of the "flight" of physical matter, Revelation 16:20; 20:11; of death, Revelation 9:6 . See ESCAPE.

"to flee away, escape" (ek, "from," and No. 1), is translated "fled" in Acts 16:27 (AV only); 19:16. In Hebrews 12:25 the best mss. have this verb instead of No. 1. See ESCAPE.
