Eschew:
"to turn aside" (ek, "from," klino, "to turn, bend"), is used metaphorically
(a) of leaving the right path, Rom 3:12, RV, "turned aside," for AV, "gone out of the way;"
(b) of turning away from division-makers and errorists, Rom 16:17, RV, "turn away from;"
(c) of turning away from evil, 1Pe 3:11, RV, "turn away from," AV, "eschew."
See AVOID, TURN. In the Sept. the verb is frequently used of declining or swerving from God's ways, e.g., Job 23:11; Psa 44:18; 119:51, 157.
