"to hinder, restrain, withhold, forbid" (akin to kolos, "docked, lopped, clipped"), is most usually translated "to forbid," often an inferior rendering to that of hindering or restraining, e.g., 1—Thessalonians 2:16; Luke 23:2; 2—Peter 2:16 , where the RV has "stayed;" in Acts 10:47 "forbid." In Luke 6:29 , the RV has "withhold not (thy coat also)." See HINDER , KEEP , Note (7), STAY , SUFFER , A, Note (3), WITHHOLD , WITHSTAND , No. 1.
