15 For [gar] some [tis] are [ektrepo] already [ede]
turned aside [ektrepo]
after [opiso] Satan. [Satanas]KJV-Interlinear
15 for some have already turned
aside to follow Satan. NASB
Turned aside, ektrepo, means to turn away, avoid, aside, out of the
way.It is a reference to a person
turning away from their core values and setting them aside for other values.
After, opiso, means to follow a pattern.
Satan, satanas, means accuser.
Therefore, without
guidance and support and direction, the young widows, will become disoriented
to life and turn away from Christian principles and turn to worldly practices,
and ultimately living from one complaint after another.
Likewise, anyone who
lives in this world, is in effect stranded and without
support, unless they turn to God, who provides the support they need, through
doctrine.
Widows are our example,
but these principles apply to us all.
Without doctrine, any
person will turn aside and away from truth, and turn to those things which are
false.
Bible doctrine provides
orientation to life.Christian
principles provide orientation to life.Those in need, for whatever reason, must have doctrine in some form,
provided by individual Christians or through some formal academic setting.
If the church is more
or less a social networking and activity venue, then those in need do not get
what they need, namely the nuts and bolts of truth, with which they can make
good decisions in their everyday life.
The world is full of
social activities.The function of the
church is Bible instruction, word by word, verse by verse, precept upon
precept, and so forth.
People fail in life
because they are either not interested in the details of a Bible study, or
their access to a study does not teach the details of the scriptures as it
should.
Young immature widows
need the proper direction for re-establishing their lives.Immature Christians need the proper direction
for establishing their lives.
