G2274–ἡσσάομαι–hēssaomai

For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong.

ἡσσώθητε hēssōthēte “you were inferior”

Saying that they will be free, while they themselves are the servants of destruction; because whatever gets the better of a man makes a servant of him.

ἥττηται, hēttētai “has been subdued,”

For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

ἡττῶνται, hēttōntai “they are subdued,”
