νῖκος, νικους, τό, a later form equivalent to νίκη (cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 647; (Buttmann, 23 (20); Winers Grammar, 24)), victory: 1Co_15:55; 1Co_15:57 (2Ma_10:38; (1Es_3:9)); εἰς νῖκος, until he have gained the victory, Mat_12:20; κατεπόθη ὁ θάνατος εἰς νῖκος, (A. V. death is swallowed up in victory) i. e. utterly vanquished, 1Co_15:54. (The Sept. sometimes translate the Hebrew μΘπΖφΗη, i. e. to everlasting, forever, by εἰς νῖκος, 2Sa_2:26; Job_36:7; Lam_5:20; Amo_1:11; Amo_8:7, because πΖφΗη denotes also splendor, 1Ch_29:11, and in Syriac victory.)

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
νῖκος [page 427]
This form, as in Mat_12:20 , 1Co_15:54 f., 1Co_15:57 , 1Es_3:9 , occurs in BGU III. 1002 .14 (B.C. 55) σαὶ δέ εἰσιν πᾶσαι αἱ κατ᾽ αὐτῶν κείμεναι συνγραφαὶ καὶ ὠναὶ καὶ δίκαια καὶ βέβαια καὶ νῖκος , apparently with reference to victory in a law-suit. According to Wackernagel ( Heilenistica , p. 26 f. ) the word is originally related to the poetic νεῖκος , strife, but passed into Ionic with the meaning of victory, through the influence of νίκη : see also Fraenkel Glotta iv. (1913) p. 39 ff. Some Lat. MSS. actually translate νῖκος in 1Co_15:1-58 ll. c. by contentio.
