2 Cor. 2:14

TWi DE QEWi CARIS TWi PANTOTE QRIAMBEUONTI hHMAS EN TWi CRISTWi


Concerning QRIAMBEUONTI, many translations seem to lean toward a causative 
force, such as:

"who always causes us to triumph." (NET Bible alternate trans.)


Would not the lexically idea be:

“cause us to be lead in a triumphal procession”  ??

I was lead to believe that this word QRIAMBEUONTI was used of the captives 
of war, not the conquerors. Hence, whatever is meant here, Paul is 
describing us as captives of a war, being displayed in humiliation and, if 
the metaphor allows, as the losers in this war.

Thank you,

Mark Wilson
