20.29 · Violence, Harm, Destroy, Kill · Harm, Wound
wound the condition resulting from being severely hurt or wounded
1 These expressions for ‘wound’ (τραῦμα, μώλωψ, πληγή[b]) normally do not imply a mortal wound. It is possible, however, to speak of a mortal wound by the phrase ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου as in REV 13:3, REV 13:12. 2 1PE 2:24 μώλωψ appears to be a welt or bruise caused specifically by blows or beating, but the context of 1PE 2:24 appears to be highly generic.
