1 | Strong's Number: g2854 | Greek: kollourion |
Eye-Salve:
primarily a diminutive of kollura, and denoting "a coarse bread roll" (as in the Sept. of 1 Kings 12: after ver. 24, lines 30, 32, 39; Eng. version, 1Ki 14:3), hence an "eye-salve," shaped like a roll, Rev 3:18, of the true knowledge of one's condition and of the claims of Christ. The word is doubtless an allusion to the Phrygian powder used by oculists in the famous medical school at Laodicea (Ramsay, Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia, Vol. I, p. 52).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
