'Perverse' in the Bible
And Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”
Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here [to Me].”
We are suffering justly, because we are getting what we deserve for what we have done; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”
And Peter solemnly testified and continued to admonish and urge them with many more words, saying, “Be saved from this crooked and unjust generation!”
even from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse and distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves [as their followers].
so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],
and [pray] that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not everyone has the faith.
