1 Timothy 5:15
For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
BSB
ASV
for already some are turned aside after Satan.
KJV
For some are already turned aside after Satan.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
His reason is this: for some are already turned aside after Satan, i.e., some who have vowed chastity have looked back, avoiding their vow, and they walk after Satan by imitating him who apostatized from the angel's ranks.
For--For in the case of some this result has already ensued; "Some (widows) are already turned aside after Satan," the seducer (not by falling away from the faith in general, but) by such errors as are stigmatized in 1Ti 5:11-13, sexual passion, idleness, &c., and so have given occasion of reproach (1Ti 5:14).
The walk8

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
