1. properly, to kill in any way whatever (ἀπό i. e. so as to put out of the way; cf. [English to kill off], German abschlachten): Matthew 16:21; Matthew 22:6; Mark 6:19; Mark 9:31; John 5:18; John 8:22; Acts 3:15; Revelation 2:13, and very often; [ἀποκτ. ἐν θανάτῳ, Revelation 2:23; Revelation 6:8, cf. Buttmann, 184 (159); Winers Grammar, 339 (319)]. to destroy (allow to perish): Mark 3:4 [yet others take it here absolutely, to kill].
2. metaphorically, to extinguish, abolish: τὴν ἔχθραν, Ephesians 2:16; to inflict moral death, Romans 7:11 (see ἀποθνήσκω, II. 2); to deprive of spiritual life and procure eternal misery, 2 Corinthians 3:6 [Lachmann ἀποκταίνει; see above].
