It often conveys a sense of force or compulsion, indicating a strong or irresistible pull. This term can be used both in a literal sense, such as physically dragging something, and in a metaphorical sense, such as being drawn away by desires or temptations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being drawn or dragged was often associated with the idea of being led by external forces or desires. This imagery would have been familiar to early Christian audiences, who lived in a culture where philosophical and moral teachings frequently addressed the struggle between human desires and virtuous living. The use of "exelkó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the power of temptation and the need for spiritual vigilance.<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/1670.htm">helkó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to draw out or away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>carried away (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 1828: ἐξέλκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐξέλκω</span></span>: (present passive participle <span class="greek2">ἐξελκόμενος</span>); <span class="accented">to draw out,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span>, Attic writings); metaphorically, equivalent to <span class="accented">to lure forth</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
