This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Will eat (nomēn hexei). “Will have (future active of echō) pasturage or increase” (nomē, old word from nemō, to pasture, in N.T. only here and Joh 10:9).
As doth gangrene (hōs gaggraina). Late word (medical writers and Plutarch), only here in N.T. From graō or grainō, to gnaw, to eat, an eating, spreading disease. Hymenaeus is probably the one mentioned in 1Ti 1:20. Nothing is known of Philetus.
