Spoiling Spoil

Spoiling Spoil

'''A — 1: σκῦλον (Strong'S #4661 — Noun Neuter — skulon — skoo'-lon )

used in the plural, denotes "arms stripped from a foe;" "spoils" in  Luke 11:22 .

'''A — 2: ἀκροθίνιον (Strong'S #205 — Noun Neuter — akrothinion — ak-roth-in'-ee-on )

primarily "the top of a heap" (akros, "highest, top," and this, "a heap"), hence "firstfruit offerings," and in war "the choicest spoils,"  Hebrews 7:4 .

'''A — 3: ἁρπαγή (Strong'S #724 — Noun Feminine — harpage — har-pag-ay' )

"pillage," is rendered "spoiling" in  Hebrews 10:34 . See Extort , B, No. 1.

'''B — 1: διαρπάζω (Strong'S #1283 — Verb — diarpazo — dee-ar-pad'-zo )

"to plunder," is found in  Matthew 12:29,2 nd part (the 1st has harpazo, in the best texts), lit., "(then) he will completely (dia, intensive) spoil (his house);"  Mark 3:27 (twice).

'''B — 2: ἁρπάζω (Strong'S #726 — Verb — harpazo — har-pad'-zo )

"to seize, snatch away," is rendered "spoil" in  Matthew 12:29 (see No. 1). See Catch , No. 1.

'''B — 3: συλαγωγέω (Strong'S #4812 — Verb — sulagogeo — soo-lag-ogue-eh'-o )

"to carry off as spoil, lead captive" (sule, "spoil," ago, "to lead"), is rendered "maketh spoil of" in  Colossians 2:8 , Rv (Av, "spoil"), rather "carry you off as spoil." The false teacher, through his "philosophy and vain deceit," would carry them off as so much booty.

'''B — 4: ἀπεκδύομαι (Strong'S #554 — Verb — apekduo — ap-ek-doo'-om-ahee )

in the Middle Voice is translated "having spoiled" in  Colossians 2:15 , Av, Rv, "having put off from Himself (the principalities and the powers)." These are regarded by some as the unsinning angels, because they are mentioned twice before in the Epistle ( Colossians 1:6;  2:10 ). It is also argued that the verb apekduo, rendered "having put off from Himself," in  Colossians 2:15 , is used in a somewhat different sense in  Colossians 3:9 . Such representations do not form a sufficiently cogent reason for regarding the principalities and the powers here mentioned as those of light, rather than those of darkness.
