Smoke (Noun and Verb):
"to raise a smoke" [akin to tuphos, "smoke" (not in the NT), and tuphoo, "to puff up with pride," see HIGH-MINDED], is used in the Passive Voice in Mat 12:20, "smoking (flax)," lit., "caused to smoke," of the wick of a lamp which has ceased to burn clearly, figurative of mere nominal religiousness without the Spirit's power. The Sept. uses the verb kapnizo (akin to A).

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.
