Galatians 5:20
Footnote:
| 5b | ἐριθεία, -ας (ἡ) [ῑ]: Refers to strife, contention, or factional rivalry, often associated with political ambition or personal gain through unscrupulous means. Derived from the verb ἐριθεύω ("to be contentious" or "to engage in self-serving rivalry"), it conveys a sense of division or rivalry, particularly in the pursuit of power, wealth, or influence. Aristotle uses the term in Politics (5.2.3) to describe factionalism and the negative impact of individual ambitions on the common good. (cf. Logeion ἐριθεία) |
