SHAMBLES  is often used today to describe a scene of wreckage but originally it

referred to a slaughterhouse.  In I Cor. 10: 25 we have `whatsoever is sold in the

shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake'. "Meat market' would be an

up-to-date rendering.

SIMPLE.  Paul wrote in Rom. 16: 19 "I would have you wise unto that which is

good and simple concerning evil". He did not mean to be gullible or foolish, but free

from duplicity, innocent and so the Greek should now be rendered.
