fit'-li:
The word "fit" (adjective and verb) occurs a few times, representing nearly as many Hebrew and Greek words. the Revised Version (British and American) frequently alters, as inLe 16:21(`itti, "timely," "opportune," "ready"), where for "fit" it reads "in readiness," margin "appointed." In1Ch 7:11the Revised Version (British and American) has "that were able"; inIsa 44:13, "shapeth"; inPr 24:27, "ready," etc. "Fitly" inPr 25:11is in the Revised Version, margin "in due season"; inSo 5:12, "fitly set" is in the Revised Version, margin "sitting by full streams." In the New Testament "fit" is the translation of euthetos, "well placed" (Lu 9:62;14:35), of kathekon, "suitable" (Ac 22:22), and of katartizo, "to make quite ready" (Ro 9:22, "vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction").
