In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe spiritual blemishes or imperfections, particularly in the context of the Church's purity and holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, physical appearance was often seen as a reflection of inner virtue or vice. Wrinkles, as signs of aging, were sometimes associated with wisdom but could also symbolize decay or imperfection. In the biblical context, the metaphorical use of "wrinkle" emphasizes the need for spiritual purity and the removal of imperfections through Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4512</b> <i>rhytís</i> – properly, bunched up, contracted; (figuratively) "a wrinkle, from aging" (Souter).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably from rhusos (shrivelled, wrinkled)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wrinkle<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wrinkle (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4512: ῤυτίς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ῤυτίς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ῥυτιδος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2"> Ρ᾽ΥΩ</span>, to draw together, contract), <span class="accented">a wrinkle</span>: <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/5-27.htm">Ephesians 5:27</a>.
