man) be moved (by these afflictions).” Some have suggested the primary meaning, “to be
wheedled, befooled, by pleasing utterances”; but Greek interpreters regard it as
synonymous with No. 3, or with
, “to disturb,” and this is confirmed by the
contrast with “establish” in v. 2, and “stand fast” in v. 8. A variant reading gives the verb
, “to be disheartened, unnerved.”¶
6.
(

, 5342), “to bear, carry,” is rendered “being moved” in 2 Pet. 1:21,
signifying that they were “borne along,” or impelled, by the Holy Spirit’s power, not
acting according to their own wills, or simply expressing their own thoughts, but
expressing the mind of God in words provided and ministered by Him.
Notes:
(1) In Mark 15:11,
KJV
,
, “to shake to and fro, stir up,” is translated
“moved” (
RV
, “stirred up,” as in Luke 23:5,
KJV
and
RV
).¶ (2) In Acts 20:24 some mss.
have a phrase translated “none of these things move me.” The text for which there is most
support gives the rendering “but I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself.”
Field suggests a reading, the translation of which is, “neither make I account of anything,
nor think my life dear unto myself.” (3) In 1 Cor. 15:34, for the more literal
KJV
, “I speak
this to your shame,” the
RV
has “I speak this to move you to shame.” (4) For “moved with
godly fear” see
