It implies a deviation from truth or righteousness, suggesting a moral or spiritual corruption.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of turning or changing direction was often used metaphorically to describe changes in moral or ethical behavior. The New Testament writers, influenced by Jewish thought, used such terms to address issues of faithfulness and apostasy within the early Christian communities. The idea of perversion or distortion was particularly relevant in the context of false teachings and heresies that threatened the purity of the Gospel message.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1612</b> <i>ekstréphō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "wholly <i>out</i> from," intensifying <a href="/greek/4762.htm">4762</a> <i>/stréphō</i>, "turn") – properly, <i>turn completely out of</i> place, i.e. "turn inside out" (used only in Tit 3:11).</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>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/4762.htm">strephó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to turn inside out, fig. to pervert<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>perverted (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 1612: ἐκστρέφω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκστρέφω</span></span>: perfect passive <span class="greek2">ἐξεστραμμαι</span>;
