Re-reading

I was re-reading the 2 Peter chapter 2, and a word in Greek jumped out at me, concerning the false teacher's unscrupulous greed. Peter writes of the false teachers, "In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications."

Peter's word in Greek for "exploit" is εμπορευσονται -- in English letters, emporeusontai. That is the root word for our English word, emporium. So, in Greek, it is actually stronger and more vicious than just "exploit."

In Greek it means, make merchandise of: "In their greed they will make merchandise of you with fabrications."
