What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
ἀπόλλυμι means, in its active use, to destroy utterly or kill — used of putting someone to death or wiping something out completely 1234. In this same active sense it can also mean to lose something completely, as in losing one's life or one's reward 134.
Used in the middle voice, the word means to perish or die, and more broadly to cease to exist 13. It can also mean to be lost, describing something misplaced or someone who has wandered away 13. From this comes a further, figurative use: being spiritually lost or destitute, cut off from God, and, in a theological sense, facing final destruction rather than salvation — those "perishing" as opposed to those "being saved" 13. Strong's notes that in this reflexive use the destruction can be understood either literally or figuratively 2.
