3 | Strong's Number: g475 | Greek: antidiatithemi |
Oppose:
signifies "to place oneself in opposition, oppose" (anti, "against," dia, "through," intensive, tithemi, "to place"), 2Ti 2:25. The AV and RV translate this as a Middle Voice, "them (AV, 'those') that oppose themselves." Field (Notes on the Trans. of the NT) points out that in the only other known instance of the verb it is Passive. The sense is practically the same if it is rendered "those who are opposed."
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.
