Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Priene has the combination ἀσυλεὶ καὶ ἀσπονδεί seven times, in the common sense ";without formal treaty";—the reverse of the meaning applied metaphorically in 2 Timothy 3:3 : friends need no treaty, and implacable foes will not make one. Literary parallels suffice for the Pauline use.
