         DefinitionShort: to become strong and healthy, with the implication of physical vigor

         Glosses: to become strong

         Comments: In employing an expression to translate ‘to become strong,’ it is important to avoid the impression of ‘to become muscular.’ The emphasis is upon total physical vigor, not mere muscular strength.

         DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:κραταιός} ‘powerful,’ {D:76.9}) to become strong psychologically

         Glosses: ['to become strong', 'to become powerful']

         Comments: In {S:04601601300014} κραταιόομαι must be understood in a non-physical sense. The implication is that the believer is to be sufficiently strong as to be able to dominate any evil influence.
