A far more exceeding . . .—The Greek phrase is adverbial rather than adjectival: worketh for us exceedingly, exceedingly. After the Hebrew idiom of expressing intensity by the repetition of the same word, (used of this very word “exceedingly” in Genesis 7:19; Genesis 17:2), he seeks to accumulate one phrase upon another (literally, according to excess unto excess) to express his sense of the immeasurable glory which he has in view.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Id enim, quod in præsenti est momentaneum et leve tribulationis nostræ, supra modum in sublimitate æternum gloriæ pondus operatur in nobis,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance. Built from: the words a word is made out of, taken from its own Strong’s entry. It is not a map of meaning: nothing here claims two words mean the same thing.

One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.

Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word παραυτίκα (*parautika*) means 'immediately' or 'momentarily.' It is built from the prefix παρά and a derivative of αὐτός. The term expresses brief duration and is used in contexts like 2 Corinthians 4:17, where it conveys a sense of transience. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

Field Motes p. 183. For the form πάραντα (παρ᾽ αὐτά) see P Tebt I. 13! (B.c. 114) πάραυτα δὲ συμψήσαντες ἀπὸ τῶν προγεγρ(αμμένων) ἕνα, ‘whereupon we immediately seized one of the above-mentioned persons” (Edd.), and cf. Mayser Gr. p. 486.

The Greek word ἐλαφρός (i.e. *elaphros*) means 'light' or 'not burdensome.' It is used in contexts referring to weight, ease, and even metaphorically for light-mindedness. In the New Testament, it appears in Matthew 11:30 and 2 Corinthians 4:17, where it describes the lightness of Jesus' yoke and afflictions, respectively. The lexicons agree on its basic meaning, with no significant disagreements noted.
ἐλαφρός, -ά, -όν
[in LXX chiefly for קַל, קָלָל ;]
light in weight easy to bear: Mt 11:30; θλίψρις (EV, our light affliction), II Co 4:17.†
ἐλαφρός, -d, -dv, light in weight, quick, agile; a light φορτίον is used fig. concerning the commandments of Jesus, easy to be kept, Mt. xi. 30; neut. τὸ ἐλαφρόν, substantively, the lightness: τῆς θλίψεως ΓΑ. V. our light affliction], 2 Co. iv. 17. (From Hom. down.)
ἐλαφρός occurs literally in P Giss I. 477 (time of Hadrian) ὁ] μὲν γὰρ Oapat . . . τὸ μεῖζον ἐλα[φ]ρότατος ὡς μὴ κάμνειν τὸν φοροῦντα αὐτὸν [ἠ]γοράσθη κτλ., and Preistghke 315 (a sepulchral inscr.) ἐλαφρά σοι γῆ γένοιτο, ‘‘szt tibe terra levis.’ For the verb ἐλαφρίζω see Sy/7 33058 (Roman age) ἵνα μὴ 80 ἁ Gperépa πόλις, ἀλλὰ ἐλαφρισθῇ, and for ἐλαφρύνω the Christian P Gen I. 1452 (Byz.) ἐϊχαφρυνθῆναι τῶν χρεῶν. See also Caguat IV. 292% (Pergamon—B.c. 130) περὶ ἐλαφροτοκίας, ‘as regards lowering of interest.” The adj. ἐλαφρός (—ts) survives in MGr beside ἀλαφρός.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

θλῖψις (thlipsis) is a feminine noun meaning pressure, often used metaphorically to denote tribulation, affliction, or distress. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to persecution and emotional turmoil. The word is derived from θλίβω and is associated with other terms like ἀνάγκη (necessity) and στενοχωρία (narrowness, distress). Notably, lexicons differ on the strength of these synonyms, with some suggesting στενοχωρία conveys a more intense sense of distress.
THESE words were often joined together. Thus στενοχωρία, occurring only four times in the N. T., is on three of these associated with θλῆψις (Rom. ii. 9; vill. 353 2 Cor. vi. 4; cf. Deut. xxviii. 55; Isai. vill. 22; xxx. 6). So too the verbs θλίβειν and στενοχωρεῖν (2 Cor. iv. 8; cf. Lucian, Nigrin. 13; Artemidorus, i. 79; ii. 37). From the antithesis at 2 Cor. iv. 8, θλιβόμενοι, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ στενοχωρούμενοι, and from the fact that, wherever in the N. T. the words occur together, στενοχωρία always occurs last, we may conclude that, whatever be the difference of meaning, στενοχωρία is the stronger word. They indeed express very nearly the same thing, but not under the same image. Θλῖψιες (joined with βάσανος at Ezek. xii. 18, with ἀνάγκη, Zeph. i. 15, and for which we have the form θλιμμός, Exod. iii. 9; Deut. xxvi. 7) is properly pressure, ‘pressura,’ ‘tribulatio,—which last διν.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

(cf. Proleg. p. 105). Brugmann (Awrze Vergletchende Grammazk, p. 479) considers that the earliest use of the word was “‘along ” something, so as to remain in connexion and contact with the object, and from this most of the senses found in the NT can be derived.

The Greek word ὑπερβολή (huperbolē) is derived from ὑπερβάλλω and means a 'throwing beyond' or 'excess.' It encompasses ideas of superiority, excellence, and exceeding measure, appearing in various New Testament contexts to describe extraordinary qualities or experiences. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings, focusing on its metaphorical use in relation to abundance and preeminence.

The Greek word ὑπερβολή (huperbolē) is derived from ὑπερβάλλω and means a 'throwing beyond' or 'excess.' It encompasses ideas of superiority, excellence, and exceeding measure, appearing in various New Testament contexts to describe extraordinary qualities or experiences. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings, focusing on its metaphorical use in relation to abundance and preeminence.

The Greek word αἰώνιος (iōnios) means eternal or everlasting, derived from αἰών (aiōn), which refers to an age or period. It encompasses concepts of both timelessness and perpetual duration, often used in contexts like life, salvation, and divine promises. Notably, it appears in passages such as Romans 16:26 and Hebrews 9:12. The lexicons generally agree on its meaning, with no significant disagreements noted.

e-tur'-nal (`olam; aionios, from aion):
The word "eternal" is of very varying import, both in the Scriptures and out of them.
1. `Olam:
In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word `olam is used for "eternity," sometimes in the sense of unlimited duration, sometimes in the sense of a cycle or an age, and sometimes, in later Hebrew, in the signification of world. The Hebrew `olam has, for its proper New Testament equivalent, aion, as signifying either time of particular duration, or the unending duration of time in general. Only, the Hebrew term primarily signified unlimited time, and only in a secondary sense represented a definite or specific period. Both the Hebrew and the Greek terms signify the world itself, as it moves in time.
2. Aion, Aionios:
In the New Testament, aion and aionios are often used with the meaning "eternal," in the predominant sense of futurity. The word aion primarily…

It can refer to physical loads, emotional heaviness, or moral responsibilities, as seen in verses like Matthew 20:12 and Galatians 6:2.

wat (Measure of quantity) mishqal, (mishqol (Eze 4:10), from shaqkal, "to weigh" 'ebhen, "a stone" used for weighing in the balance): Weights were commonly of stone or bronze (or of lead, Zec 5:7,8). They were of various forms, such as the lion-shaped weights of Babylonia and Assyria, or in the form of birds and other animals. The Hebrew and Phoenician weights, when made of stone, were barrel-shaped or spindle-shaped, but in bronze they were often cubical or octagonal or with numerous faces (see illustration under WEIGHTS AND MEASURES).

δόξα, transliterated as doxa, is a feminine noun meaning glory, honor, or reputation. It encompasses both the good opinion held about someone and the visible splendor associated with divine presence. In the New Testament, it often refers to the glory of God or the honor due to Him, appearing in verses like Luke 14:10 and Romans 2:7. The word is derived from the root of δοκέω, which relates to opinion or judgment.

The Greek word κατεργάζομαι (katergazomai) is a compound of κατ- and ἐργάζομαι, meaning to work out or accomplish through labor. It encompasses a range of meanings including achieving, producing, and even cultivating land. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts related to moral actions and spiritual outcomes, such as in Romans and Philippians. The lexicons do not present significant disagreements on its meanings.
κατ-εργάζομαι
(emphatic form of ἐργάζομαι),
[in LXX for פּעל, etc. (9 exx., each for a different Heb. word);]
to effect by labour, achieve, work out, bring about: c. acc., Ro 4:15 5:3 7:8, 15, 17, 18, 20, II Co 7:10, Eph 6:13, Ja 1:3; pass., II Co 12:12; c. acc. rei et dat. pers., Ro 7:13, II Co 4:17 7:11 9:11; id. seq. διά, c. gen. pers., Ro 15:18; τ. σωτηρίαν, Phl 2:12; c. acc. pers. seq. εἰς, II Co 5:5 (RV, wrought); of evil deeds,
κατεργάζομαι. This perfective compound, which lays stress on the result, as distinguished from the process, of the action (cf. 2 Cor 10 1.. Phil 212), is very common with reference to the ‘‘ cultivation” of allotments, e.g. P Tebt I. 107 (B.c. 119) ἐφ᾽ ὧι κατεργᾶται τοῖς ἰδίοις dvnAwpacw . . γῆς (ἀρούρας) δέκα, “on condition that he shall cultivate at his own expense 10 arourae of land,” PSI I. 3219 (A.p. 208) ἐπὶ τῷ σε τοῦτο κατεργάσασθαι] mac[y ἐργασΊ]ίᾳ καὶ ἐπιμελείᾳ : cf. also BGU IV. 112136 (B.c. 5) μὴ ἐξόντο[ς] αὐτοῖς διδόναι τοῖς κατεργαζομένοις τὴν μίσθωσιν ἐϊργάτ]αις [π]λεῖον τῶν [διδοἸμένων ἐν τῶι ΚΚόλπωι [κατ]έργων.
