Aside

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

a -sı̄d ´: "Distinct from others," "privately," such is the sense of the word in 2 Kings 4:4; Mark 7:33 . Also "to withdraw" (Luke 9:10 the King James Version; Acts 23:19 : ὑποχωρέω , hupochōréō , also anachoréō ). One is said to have turned aside when he departs from the path of rectitude (Psalm 14:3; Sirach 2:7; 1 Timothy 1:6 ). In a figurative sense it is used to express the thought of putting aside, to renounce, every hindrance or impediment to a consecrated earnest Christian life (Hebrews 12:1 : ἀποτίθημι , apotı́thēmi ).
