ad -van´tā̇j ( סכן , ṣākhan ): In Job 35:3 is interpreted in succeeding clause as "profit." In Romans 3:1 περισσός , perissós , is likewise interpreted by a paraphrase in the next sentence. the Revised Version (British and American) prefers to render pleonektéō by "take advantage," where the King James Version has "defraud" (2 Corinthians 7:2 ), or "make gain of" (2 Corinthians 12:17; compare 2 Corinthians 2:11 ). In Judges 1:16 "advantage" ( ōphéleia ) means "profit.»
