The Greek word dakno

Found only in Gal. 5:15, the Greek verb “dakno” meant “bite.”  Paul said, “But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”

The “Living Bible,” a paraphrase, renders this verse:  “But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always critical and catty, watch out!  Beware of ruining each other.”
