(Strong's #4646 — Adjective — skolios — skol-ee-os' )

"curved, crooked," was especially used (a) of a way, Luke 3:5 , with spiritual import (see Proverbs 28:18 , Sept.); it is set in contrast to orthos and euthus, "straight;" (b) metaphorically, of what is morally "crooked," perverse, froward, of people belonging to a particular generation, Acts 2:40 (AV, "untoward"); Philippians 2:15; of tyrannical or unjust masters, 1 Peter 2:18 , "froward;" in this sense it is set in contrast to agathos, "good."
