Romans 11:12“failure”ei de tem paraptōmem autoiu ploutos kosmou kai tem hēttēmem autoiu ploutos ethneiu, pose mallon tem plērōmem autoiu.But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
1 Corinthians 6:7“defeat”ēdē men oun holōs hēttēmem vi atō hoti krimeim echavō meta heautoiu; dia tinem ouchi mallon adikivō? dia tinem ouchi mallon aposterivō?The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?
