Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Has a Hidden Test

Wolf in sheeps clothing has a hidden test. The Greek word for clothing means to sink into, an assumed identity. The word for ravenous is what Paul uses for extortioners. False prophets wear identity, not costume. This walks Matthew 7:15-20 word by word through the original Greek. Three words rebuild the passage. Endyma (G1742), translated clothing, comes from endyo, to sink into. Epiginosko (G1921), translated know, names forensic recognition by evidence. Harpax (G727), translated ravenous, appears five times and four of them describe a human predator who seizes by force. After this, the passage stops sounding like a vague warning and starts sounding like a complete discernment system. THE INNER DECODE: Prosecho (G4337), translated beware, comes from pros (toward) plus echo (to hold), originally a nautical term for bringing a ship to port. The form is continuous imperative, ongoing navigation. Endyma (G1742) is built from endyo (G1746), en (in) plus dyo (to sink), that which one sinks into rather than throws on. Matthew uses endyma three other times: Matthew 3:4 for John the Baptist's prophetic garment signaling identity, Matthew 22:11-12 for the wedding garment whose absence reveals someone who entered without the identity the room required. Paul uses the same root verb in Romans 13:14 and Galatians 3:27. Karpos (G2590) appears seven times in five verses, a diagnostic protocol. Verse 17 contains two different Greek words for good: agathos (G18) for the tree, intrinsically good, and kalos (G2570) for the fruit, excellent in its kind. English flattens both. Epiginosko (G1921) prefixes ginosko with epi, mental direction toward what is known. Thayer defines it as to become thoroughly acquainted with, to recognize by certain signs. 1 Corinthians 13:12 contrasts ginosko (now I know in part) with epiginosko (then I shall know fully). Harpax (G727) appears five times. 1 Corinthians 5:10-11 and 6:10 list it among extortioners. The root harpazo (G726) is the same verb in Matthew 13:19 where the wicked one snatches what was sown. Sapros (G4550) in verse 17 means rotten, putrid, not moral evil. In this reading, the five word system (prosecho, endyma, karpos, epiginosko, harpax) works as a precision instrument for any voice in the inner landscape. 📖 Key Scriptures: Matthew 7:15-20, Matthew 3:4, Matthew 3:10, Matthew 13:19, Matthew 22:11-12, 1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 5:10-11, 1 Corinthians 6:10, Acts 20:29-30, Galatians 3:27 🔐 THE FULL GREEK STUDY GUIDE for this video is available to Watchman members.
