Topical Encyclopedia The term "fouledst" is an archaic English word that is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible but is derived from older translations such as the King James Version (KJV). It is the second person singular past tense of "foul," meaning to make dirty or corrupt. In a biblical context, it often refers to moral or spiritual corruption rather than physical uncleanliness.Biblical Context and Usage: While "fouledst" itself does not appear in the BSB, the concept of moral and spiritual corruption is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. The Bible frequently addresses the idea of purity versus impurity, both in physical and spiritual terms. The notion of being "fouled" or corrupted is often associated with sin, idolatry, and turning away from God's commandments. Old Testament References: 1. Isaiah 64:6 : "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind, our sins sweep us away." This verse highlights the concept of spiritual impurity, where even the righteous acts of humanity are considered tainted by sin. 2. Ezekiel 36:25 : "I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols." Here, God promises to cleanse His people from their spiritual defilement, emphasizing the need for divine intervention to remove the corruption of sin. New Testament References: 1. Matthew 23:27 : "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity." Jesus condemns the Pharisees for their hypocrisy, illustrating how outward appearances can mask inner corruption. 2. 2 Corinthians 7:1 : "Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." The Apostle Paul urges believers to purify themselves from anything that corrupts, striving for holiness. Theological Implications: The concept of being "fouled" or corrupted is central to the biblical understanding of sin and redemption. Sin is seen as a defilement that separates humanity from God, necessitating a process of cleansing and purification. This is achieved through repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The Bible consistently calls believers to live lives of purity and holiness, avoiding the moral and spiritual corruption that comes from sin. This call to holiness is not only a personal endeavor but also a communal one, as the body of Christ is called to be a pure and spotless bride for the Lord (Ephesians 5:27). Conclusion: While the specific term "fouledst" may not appear in modern translations like the BSB, the underlying concept of spiritual and moral corruption is a significant theme throughout the Bible. It serves as a reminder of the human condition and the need for divine grace and cleansing through Jesus Christ. Concordance Fouledst (1 Occurrence)Ezekiel 32:2 Thesaurus Fouledst (1 Occurrence)...
