G2673–καταργέω–katargeō

So he said to the gardener, "`See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'

καταργεῖ; katargei “should it use up?”

For what if some Jews have proved unfaithful? Shall their faithlessness render God's faithfulness worthless?

καταργήσει; katargēsei “will nullify?”

Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.

καταργοῦμεν katargoumen “do we nullify”

For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing.

κατήργηται katērgētai “has been nullified”

This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;

καταργηθῇ katargēthēa “may be annulled”

A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.

κατήργηται katērgētai “she has been cleared”

But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.

κατηργήθημεν katērgēthēmen “we have been released”

and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;

καταργήσῃ, katargēsē “He may annul,”

Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away.

καταργουμένων· katargoumenōn “are coming to naught;”

Food of all kinds is meant for the stomach, and the stomach is meant for food, and God will cause both of them to perish. Yet the body does not exist for the purpose of fornication, but for the Master's service, and the Master exists for the body;

καταργήσει. katargēsei “will destroy.”

Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if there are languages, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be brought to an end.

καταργηθήσονται· katargēthēsontai “they will be abated;”καταργηθήσεται. katargēthēsetai “it will be abated.”

but when the perfect state of things is come, all that is imperfect will be brought to an end.

καταργηθήσεται. katargēthēsetai “will be done away.”

When I was a child, I talked like a child, felt like a child, reasoned like a child: when I became a man, I put from me childish ways.

κατήργηκα katērgēka “I have done away with”

Later on, comes the End, when He is to surrender the Kingship to God, the Father, when He shall have overthrown all other government and all other authority and power.

καταργήσῃ katargēsē “He may have annulled”

The last enemy that is to be overthrown is Death;

καταργεῖται katargeitai “to be abolished [is]”

If, however, the service that proclaims death--its code being engraved in writing upon stones--came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily on the face of Moses because of the brightness of his face--a vanishing brightness;

καταργουμένην, katargoumenēn “is fading,”

For if that which was to be abolished came with glory, much more is that which is permanent arrayed in glory.

καταργούμενον katargoumenon “is fading away”

who used to throw a veil over his face to hide from the gaze of the children of Israel the passing away of what was but transitory.

καταργουμένου· katargoumenou “fading away;”

Nay, their minds were made dull; for to this very day during the reading of the book of the ancient Covenant, the same veil remains unlifted, because it is only in Christ that it is to be abolished.

καταργεῖται, katargeitai “is being removed,”

I mean that the Covenant which God had already formally made is not abrogated by the Law which was given four hundred and thirty years later--so as to annul the promise.

καταργῆσαι katargēsai “to nullify”

Christ has become nothing to any of you who are seeking acceptance with God through the Law: you have fallen away from grace.

κατηργήθητε katērgēthēte “You are severed”

As for me, brethren, if I am still a preacher of circumcision, how is it that I am still suffering persecution? In that case the Cross has ceased to be a stumbling-block!

κατήργηται katērgētai “has been abolished”

by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,

καταργήσας, katargēsas “having annulled,”

and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.

καταργήσει katargēsei “will annul”

but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,

καταργήσαντος katargēsantos “having abolished”
