To avoid; turn aside from.For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: let him ESCHEW evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. ( 1 Peter 1:1 John 3:10-11 )
ESCHEW
es-choo' (cur; ekklino):
Only 4 times in the King James Version (Job 1:1,8; 2:3; 1 Peter 3:11), in all of which the American Standard Revised Version renders by the appropriate form of "turn away from."
