        DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:ἔσωθεν}[a] ‘from inside,’ {D:84.14}) the inner being of a person as the source or agent of thought or behavior

        Glosses: ['a person’s inner self', 'the inner being', 'within oneself']

        Comments: A literal translation of ἔσωθεν δέ εἰσιν λύκοι ἅρπαγες in {S:04000701500024} as ‘on the inside they are ravaging wolves’ could be seriously misleading, since in some cultures certain people are regarded as actually being animals but disguised as human beings. It may therefore be necessary to make some adjustments in this passage and to translate as ‘but what they want to do makes them like wild wolves’ or ‘but their minds are like the minds of wild wolves.’ On the other hand, one could employ a strictly literal translation and then have a footnote indicating that this statement in the Scriptures does not confirm local beliefs concerning animals disguised as humans.
