2 Timothy 2:26

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Ver. 26. Recover themselves ] ανανηψωσι . Put away their spiritual drunkenness, 1 Samuel 1:14 , and go forth and shake themselves, as Samson, out of sin’s lethargy. "Out of the snare of the devil," i.e. heretical doctrines or sensual pleasures; both which do intoxicate men’s brains and make them dead drunk.

Taken alive ] But to be destroyed,2 Peter 2:12; 2 Peter 2:12 , without repentance unto life, Acts 11:18 . Εζωγρημενοι , taken alive, and in hunting.
