|txtha=([[βία]]); to [[use]] [[force]], to [[apply]] [[force]]; τινα, to [[force]], [[inflict]] [[violence]] on, [[one]]; the [[active]] is [[very]] [[rare]] and [[almost]] [[exclusively]] poetic (from Homer down); [[passive]] (Buttmann, 53 (46)) in ἡ [[βασιλεία]] τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βιάζεται, the [[kingdom]] of [[heaven]] is taken by [[violence]], carried by [[storm]], i. e. a [[share]] in the [[heavenly]] [[kingdom]] is sought for [[with]] the [[most]] [[ardent]] [[zeal]] and the intensest [[exertion]]; cf. [[Xenophon]], [[Hell]]. 5,2, 15 (23) πόλεις τάς βεβιασμενας; ([[but]] [[see]] Weiss, James Morison, Norton, in the [[place]] cited). The [[other]] [[explanation]]: the [[kingdom]] of [[heaven]] suffereth [[violence]] [[namely]], from its enemies, agrees [[neither]] [[with]] the [[time]] [[when]] Christ spoke the words, [[nor]] [[with]] the context; cf. Fritzsche, DeWette, Meyer, at the [[passage]], [[middle]], βιάζομαι followed by [[εἰς]] τί to [[force]] [[one]]'s [[way]] [[into]] a [[thing]], (ἐς [[τήν]] Ποτιδαιαν, [[Thucydides]] 1,63; ἐς τό [[ἔξω]], 7,69; [[εἰς]] [[τήν]] παρεμβολήν, [[Polybius]] 1,74, 5; [[εἰς]] τά [[ἐντός]], [[Philo]], vit. Moys. i., § 19; [[εἰς]] τό [[στρατόπεδον]], [[Plutarch]], [[Otho]] 12, etc.): [[εἰς]] [[τήν]] βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, to [[get]] a [[share]] in the [[kingdom]] of God by the [[utmost]] [[earnestness]] and [[effort]], [[παραβιάζομαι]].)
