- idle word:
- Ρημα [Strong's G4487], αργος [Strong's G0692], i.e., ἀεργον - (work, act, deed) from α, privative, and εργον [Strong's G2041], work, a word that produces no good effect, and is not calculated to produce any. "Discourse," says Dr. Doddridge, "tending to innocent mirth, to exhilarate the spirits, is not idle discourse; as the time spent in necessary recreation is not idle time."
