{Nay, already it is altogether a defect among you} ((8864)(8820)men
oun hol(9373) h(8874)t(886d)a humin estin). "Indeed therefore there is to
you already (to begin with, (8864)(885c), before any question of courts)
wholly defeat." H(8874)t(886d)a (from h(8874)taomai) is only here,  Ro
11:12  Isa 31:8  and ecclesiastical writers. See h(8874)taomai
(from h(8874)t(936e), less) in  2Co 12:13  2Pe 2:19f.  Nik(885c) was
victory and h(8874)ta defeat with the Greeks. It is defeat for
Christians to have lawsuits (krimata, usually decrees or
judgments) with one another. This was proof of the failure of
love and forgiveness ( Col 3:13 ). {Take wrong} (adikeisthe).
Present middle indicative, of old verb adike(935c) (from adikos,
not right). Better undergo wrong yourself than suffer {defeat} in
the matter of love and forgiveness of a brother. {Be defrauded}
(apostereisthe). Permissive middle again like adikeisthe.
Allow yourselves to be robbed (old verb to deprive, to rob)
rather than have a lawsuit.
