7sunapagoG4879

"to carry away with" (sun, "with," and No. 6), is used in a bad sense, in Gal 2:13, 2Pe 3:17, "being carried away with" (RV); in a good sense in Rom 12:16; the RV marg. "be carried away with" is preferable to the text "condescend" (RV, and AV), and to the AV marg., "be contented (with mean things)." A suitable rendering would be "be led along with."
