It can imply a physical turning aside, but more often it is used metaphorically to describe a moral or spiritual deviation. This can include turning away from truth, righteousness, or sound doctrine.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "turning aside" was often associated with straying from a prescribed path, whether in a literal journey or in the pursuit of moral and ethical standards. The New Testament writers, influenced by Jewish thought, used this term to emphasize the importance of adhering to the teachings of Christ and the apostles, warning against the dangers of false teachings and moral compromise.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/5157.htm">tropé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to turn away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>avoiding (1), put out of joint (1), turn aside (1), turned aside (2).<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 1624: ἐκτρέπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκτρέπω</span></span>: passive (present <span class="greek2">ἐκτρέπομαι</span>); 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξετραπην</span>; 2 future <span class="greek2">ἐκτραπήσομαι</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to turn or twist out</span>; passive in a medical sense, in a figurative sense of the limbs: <span class="greek2">ἵνα</span> <span class="greek2">μή</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">χωλόν</span> <span class="greek2">ἐκτραπῇ</span>, lest it be wrenched out of (its proper) place, dislocated (<span class="abbreviation">R.
