{Let him turn away} (ekklinat(935c)). First aorist active
imperative third person singular of ekklin(935c), where the LXX has
ekklinon (second person singular). Old verb, in N.T. only here,
 Ro 3:12  16:17 . Peter adapted the passage all through to his
own construction and use. So as to poi(8873)at(935c) (let him do) for
poi(8873)on (do thou), z(8874)(8873)at(935c) (let him seek) for z(8874)(8873)on (do
thou seek), di(9378)at(935c) (let him pursue) for di(9378)on (do thou
pursue), all first aorist active imperatives (of poie(932c) z(8874)e(932c)
di(936b)(935c)). See  Heb 12:14  for "pursuing peace." If men only did!
