This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Drawn away (ἐξελκόμενος)

Only here in New Testament. This and the following word are metaphors from hunting and fishing. Drawn away, as beasts are enticed from a safecovert into a place beset with snares. Note the present participle, as indicating the progress of the temptation: “is being drawn away.”

Enticed (δελεαζόμενος)

As a fish with bait. Also the present participle. See on 2Pe 2:14.
