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
