kast'-a-wa (adokimos, from dokimazo, "I test," "I approve after testing," hence, approved after being tested): This word is rendered "castaway" only in the King James Version: "I myself should be a castaway" ("rejected" the Revised Version (British and American), the American Standard Revised Version,1Co 9:27). But the same word occurs a number of times usually translated "reprobate" (Ro 1:28;2Co 13:5-7;2Ti 3:8;Tit 1:16); "rejected" (Hebrews 6:8).
