to be striking with the fist
| Root | κολαφίζω (kolaphizō) |
| Core Meanings | to strike with the fist, to punch, to buffet, to beat violently |
| Semantic Range | to punch, to beat with fists, to mistreat physically, to buffet repeatedly, to subject to harsh physical treatment |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, this term often describes violent mistreatment, especially in contexts of humiliation or persecution. It conveys not just physical harm but degrading abuse, highlighting the suffering endured by the righteous or by Messiah in passion narratives. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA). Present tense indicates ongoing or repeated action; active voice shows the subject performs the action; infinitive mood expresses the verbal idea as "to ...". |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of striking specifically with the fist, not merely generic beating. The present active infinitive (NPA) is reflected by "to be striking," conveying ongoing or continuous action in infinitive form. |
