ναυαγέω [page 422] With the metaphorical use of this verb, make shipwreck of, come to ruin, in 1Ti_1:19 , we may compare the frequent occurrence of the same figure in popular Greek philosophy, e.g. Ps. Kebes 24, 2 ὡς κακῶς διατρίβουσι καὶ ἀθλίως ζῶσι καὶ ὡς ναυαγοῦσιν ἐν τῷ βίῳ , how wretchedly they live and how miserably they drag out their existence derelicts, as it were, on life s ocean (Clark). Other exx. in Dibelius HZNT ad 1 Tim l.c. The literal sense, as in 2Co_11:25 , is well illustrated in P Oxy IV. 839 (early i/A.D.), where, after describing an accident to a boat, the writer continues .6ff. ὡς ἐναυάγησεν κατὰ Πτολεμαίδα καὶ ἦλθέ μοι γυμνὸς κεκινδυνευκώς , εὐθέως ἠγόρασα αὐτῶι στολήν .
