DefinitionShort: to experience a violent attack
Glosses: ['to be attacked with violence', 'to suffer violent attacks']
Comments: In many languages it may be difficult, if not impossible, to speak of the kingdom of heaven ‘suffering violent attacks,’ but generally some active form may be employed, for example, ‘and violently attack the kingdom of heaven’ or ‘ … the rule of God.’ See comment at βιάζω[b] {D:20.10}.

DefinitionShort: to employ violence in doing harm to someone or something
Glosses: to use violence
Comments: Since there are a number of different interpretations of this expression (πᾶς εἰς αὐτὴν βιάζεται) in {S:04201601600038} as well as for the parallel expression in {S:04001101200028} (ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν βιάζεται; see βιάζω[a]); it is important to consult various commentaries before undertaking a translation. Probably the most widely held interpretation of these difficult expressions is based on the fact that many people did not hesitate to employ violence or military force in order to establish what they regarded as the rule of God on earth.
