Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [2]
primarily, "what is above and over, super-added," hence came to denote "what is superior and advantageous," Romans 3:1 , in a comparison between Jew and Gentile; only here with this meaning. See <a> ABUNDANT </a> , C, No. 1.
akin to ophello, "to increase," comes from a root signifying "to increase;" hence, "advantage, profit;" it is rendered as a verb in its three occurrences, 1 Corinthians 15:32 (AV, "advantageth;" RV, "doth it profit"); James 2:14,16 , lit., "What (is) the profit?" See <a> PROFIT. </a> In the Sept., Job 15:3 .
an alternative form to No. 2, akin to C, No. 1, is found in Romans 3:1 , "profit," and Jude 1:16 , "advantage." (i.e., they shew respect of persons for the sake of what they may gain from them). See <a> PROFIT. </a>
1 Timothy 4:8 2 Timothy 3:16 Titus 3:8 <a> PROFIT. </a>
signifies "to be useful, do good, profit," Romans 2:25 ; with a negative, "to be of no use, to effect nothing," Matthew 27:24 ; John 6:63 , "profiteth;" John 12:19 , "prevail;" in Luke 9:25 , AV, "(what is a man) advantaged ?" RV, "profited." See BETTERED (to be), <a> PREVAIL </a> , <a> PROFIT. </a>
lit., "to seek to get more" (pleon, "more," echo, "to have"); hence, "to get an advantage of, to take advantage of." In 2 Corinthians 7:2 the AV has "defrauded," the RV, "took advantage of;" in 1 Thessalonians 4:6 , AV, "defraud," RV, "wrong." In the other three places the RV consistently translates it by the verb "to take advantage of," 2 Corinthians 2:11 , of Satan's effort to gain an "advantage" over the church, through their neglect to restore the backslider; in 2 Corinthians 12:17,18 , AV, "make a gain of."
