From G1537 and G1670; to drag forth, that is, (fig.), to entice (to sin): – draw away

– Metaph. lure forth: in hunting and fishing as game is lured from its hiding place,

so man by lure is allured from the safety of self-restraint to sin. In James 1:14, the language

of the hunting is transferred to the seduction of a harlot.

– when he is drawn by his own lust.

– (is enticed by pleasure) In NT only here and 2 Pet 2:14, 18. Allured by definite bait

– drawn away by his own lust and enticed. The first referring to dragging a fish

out of the water by a hook which it had swallowed, because concealed by a bait;

the second to the enticements of impure women, who draw away the unwary into their snares.
