G0664–ἀποτόμως–apotomōs

For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

ἀποτόμως apotomōs “with severity”

This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,

ἀποτόμως, apotomōs “severely,”
