UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

adjc. | -ον · comp. εὐκοπώτερος | κόπτω

22.39 · Trouble, Hardship, Relief, Favorable Circumstances · Easy, Light

easy, without trouble (occurring only in the comparative form in the NT) pertaining to that which is easy, in the sense of not requiring great effort or work In some languages it is difficult to render in a succinct manner an expression such as ‘easier to do,’ for a comparative expression involving degree of effort may require complex restructuring. Accordingly, one can often translate the first part of this expression in MAT 19:24 as ‘a camel does not have to struggle as much to go through the eye of a needle as ...’
