Authorities in Texas say $600,000 in cash and checks were stolen from Lakewood Church in Houston.
2 Corinthians 2.17: οὐ γάρ ἐσμεν ὡς οἱ πολλοὶ καπηλεύοντες τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀλλ' ὡς ἐξ εἰλικρινείας, ἀλλ' ὡς ἐκ θεοῦ κατέναντι θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ λαλοῦμεν.
The apocryphal Ecclesiaticus 26:29 has the same word: οὐ δικαιωθήσεται κάπηλος ἀπό ἁμαρτίας (and an huckster shall not be freed from sin).
Speaking of a huckster, doing some background reading on Pope "The Huckster- κάπηλος" Leo X and his infamous indulgence of 15 Mar 1517, the indulgence that set Bruder Martin off. Rome is still selling their paresh (Hebrew word).
H/t to Mr. Andy Underhile for this on the Greek word κάπηλος.
Barnes' notes: "Which corrupt the word of God - Margin, "deal deceitfully with." The word used here (καπηλεύοντες kapēleuontes) occurs nowhere else in the New Testament, and does not occur in the Septuagint. The word is derived from κάπηλος kapēlos, which signifies properly a huckster, or a retailer of wine, a petty chapman; a man who buys up articles for the purpose of selling them again. It also means sometimes a vintner, or an innkeeper. The proper idea is that of a small dealer and especially in wine. Such persons were notorious, as they are now, for diluting their wines with water (compare the Septuagint in Isaiah 1:22); and for compounding wines of other substances than the juice of the grape for purposes of gain. Wine, of all substances in trade, perhaps, affords the greatest facilities for such dishonest tricks; and, accordingly, the dealers in that article have generally been most distinguished for fraudulent practices and corrupt and diluted mixtures. Hence, the word comes to denote to adulterate; to corrupt, etc."
Bottomline: "He [Joel] who snookers others just got snookered."
