Βιάζεται:
The verb βιάζεται can be understood as a middle or a passive. The active βιάζω is ‘to constrain, force’; the middle is ‘to overpower by force, press hard; to act with violence’; the passive is ‘to be hard-pressed, overpowered.’
I. Marshall, New International Greek Testament Commentary (Exeter: Paternoster Press, 1978), 629.
Βιάζεται: Everyone is hard-pressed to enter into it. [Everyone is strongly encouraged to seek participation in it.]
