Notes: στρατεύω[a] and στρατεία in OET TI1 1:18 and OET CO2 10:4 are used figuratively, and it may be essential to mark this figurative usage as a type of simile. For example, in OET TI1 1:18 στρατεύομαι may be rendered as ‘you may, so to speak, wage the good battle’ or ‘it is like you are fighting.’ Similarly, in OET CO2 10:4 στρατεία may be rendered as ‘in what is like a battle for us.’
