And exhorted (και παρεκαλει kai parekalei). Imperfect active, kept on exhorting. Save yourselves First aorist passive of σωζω sōzō Literally, Be ye saved. Crooked (σκολιας skolias). Old word, opposite of ορτος orthos straight. Pravus the opposite of rectus, a perversity for turning off from the truth. Cf. Luke 9:41; Philemon 2:15. [source]
