1. Quakers as a Society of Friends
The early leader of what become to be called the Religious Society of Friends, later called the Quakers, was George Fox (1624-1691).
In general, the Quakers adhere to the following. Although considered unorthodox by the Anglican Church, the Puritans, etc., these views are supported by what Jesus says in the GNT (Greek New Testament). William Penn of Pennsylvania fame, was a Quaker convert.

As do many modern Christian religions, many Quakers appear to have become more secular (non-Biblical) in their beliefs and practices.

William Penn (1644-1718) was an English writer, religious person and Quaker who acquired the land called Pennsylvania, named after his father, an Admiral and politician, and who was given the land to pay war debts owed to him by England.

William Penn helped found and develop the capital named "Philadelphia" which is Greek for "brotherly love" and a name of one of the seven churches at the beginning of the book of Revelation.

4. Usage - strain
*G1368 *1 διυλίζω (dee-oo-lid'-zo) : from G1223 and hulizo hoo-lid'-zo (to filter); to strain out:--strain at (probably by misprint).
Word usage per chapter Words: διυλιζοντες

The ancient Greek word "διυλίζω""sort out" and literally means "through the matter of" in coming from two Greek words. The modern Greek word "διυλίζω" (thee-ee-LEE-zo) ≈ "refine, distill, filter, strain" as in "refine/distill crude oil", "filter/strain olive oil". This definition appears to be influenced by the meaning decided for the word in the GNT.
