         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of πτῶσις ‘fall,’ not occurring in the NT) to suffer destruction or ruin, with the implication of having formerly held a position of eminence

         Glosses: destruction

         Comments: In rendering εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστασιν πολλῶν in {S:04200203400032} it is important to indicate clearly that some are to be destroyed and others are to rise. If one translates literally ‘for the destruction and rise of many,’ it might imply that certain individuals are to be destroyed and then to rise again. For other interpretations of this passage, see {D:13.59} and {D:87.75}.
