lit., "to reduce to inactivity" (kata, "down," argos, "inactive"), is translated "abolish" in Eph. 2:15; 2 Tim. 1:10, in the RV only in 1 Cor. 15:24,26. It is rendered "is abolished" in the AV of 2 Cor. 3:13; the RV corrects to "was passing away" (marg., "was being done away"). In this and similar words not loss of being is implied, but loss of well being.
