Revelation:9:21
rwp@Revelation:9:21 @{Of their murders} (\ek tn phonn autn\). Heads the list, but "sorceries" (\ek tn pharmakn\) comes next. \Pharmakon\ was originally enchantment, as also in strkjv@Revelation:21:8|, then drug. For \pharmakia\ see strkjv@Revelation:18:34; strkjv@Galatians:5:20|. The two other items are fornication (\porneias\) and thefts (\klemmatn\, old word from \klept\, here alone in N.T.), all four characteristic of demonic worship and idolatry. See other lists of vices in strkjv@Mark:7:21; strkjv@Galatians:5:20; strkjv@Revelation:21:8; strkjv@22:15|. Our word "pharmacy" as applied to drugs and medicine has certainly come a long way out of a bad environment, but there is still a bad odour about "patent medicines."
