trōōs´brāk - ẽr : The King James Version rendering in 2 Timothy 3:3 of ἄσπονδος , aspondos , literally, "without a libation." As a libation always accompanied the making of a treaty in Greek lands, the lack implied that no treaty had been made, or, by a natural extension of meaning, could be made. Hence, the word came to mean "implacable" (Revised Version).
