"to turn aside" (ek, "from," klino, "to turn, bend"), is used metaphorically (a) of leaving the right path, Romans 3:12 , RV, "turned aside," for AV, "gone out of the way;" (b) of turning away from division-makers and errorists, Romans 16:17 , RV, "turn away from;" (c) of turning away from evil, 1 Peter 3:11 , RV, "turn away from," AV, "eschew."
