[in LXX for אָבַד, etc. (38 words in all)].
1. Act.,
1 to destroy utterly, destroy, kill: Mk 124, 922, al.; τ. ψνχήν, Mat.10:28, al.;
2 to lose utterly: Mat.10:42, al.; metaphorically, of failing to save, Jhn.6:39 18:9.

In οἱ ἀπολλὺμενοι, the perishing, contrasted in 1Co.1:18, al., with οἱ σωζόμενοι, the "perfective" force of the verb, WH.
