Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The metaphorical use of this word in the NT (1 Corinthians 8:7, Revelation 3:4; Revelation 14:4) is well illustrated by the uncanonical fragment P Oxy V. 840.16 ἀλλὰ μεμολυ [μμένος ] ἐπάτησας τοῦτο τὸ ἱερὸν τ [όπον ὄν ]τα καθαρόν, ";but polluted as thou art thou hast walked in this temple, which is a pure place."; Cf. also Epict. ii. 8. 13 ἐν σαυτῷ φέρεις αὐτὸν (scil. θεὸν) καὶ μολύνων οὐκ αἰσθάνῃ ἀκαθάρτοις μὲν διανοήμασι ῥυπαραῖς δὲ πράξεσι.
