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
