rwp @Luke:16:16 @{Entereth violently into it } (\eis aut n biazetai \). A corresponding saying occurs in strkjv @Matthew:11:12 | in a very different context . In both the verb \biazetai \, occurs also , but nowhere else in the N .T . It is present middle here and can be middle or passive in Matthew , which see . It is rare in late prose . Deissmann ( _Bible Studies_ , p . 258 ) cites an inscription where \biazomai \ is reflexive middle and used absolutely . Here the meaning clearly is that everyone forces his way into the kingdom of God , a plea for moral enthusiasm and spiritual passion and energy that some today affect to despise . rwp @Luke:16:17 @{One tittle } (\mian kerean \). See on ¯Matthew:5:18 |. rwp @Luke:16:18 @{Committeth adultery } (\moicheuei \). Another repeated saying of Christ (Matthew:5:32 ; strkjv @Mark:10:11f .; strkjv @Matthew:19:9f .|). Adultery remains adultery , divorce or no divorce , remarriage or no marriage .
