Liddell-Scott-Jones Definitions

ἐξαπορεìομαι

Middle voice from G1537 and G639

Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἐξαπορέω and (so in the Bible) deponent passive ἐξαπορέομαι, ἐξαποροῦμαι; 1 aorist ἐξηπορήθην; "to be utterly at a loss, be utterly destitute of measures or resources, to renounce all hope, be in despair" (cf. ἐκ, VI. 6) (Polybius, Diodorus, Plutarch, others): 2 Corinthians 4:8 (where it is distinguished from the simple ἀπορέομαι); τίνος of anything: τοῦ ζῆν, 2 Corinthians 1:8, on this genitive cf. Matthiae, ii., p. 828f (τοῦ ἀργυρίου, to be utterly in want of, Dionysius Halicarnassus 7, 18; active with the dative of respect, τοῖς λογισμοις, Polybius 1, 62, 1; once in the O. T. absolutely, Psalm 87:16 () 16).

[in LXX, pass., for H6323, Psalms 88:15*;]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Moulton (Proleg. p. 237) claims the use of this verb in 2 Corinthians 4:8 as a good ex. of the ";perfectivising"; of an imperfective verb, the perfective ἐξ showing ";the ἀπορία in its final result of despair."; The verb is used in a weaker sense in P Eleph 2.10 (B.C. 285–4) where, amongst other testamentary dispositions, provision is made that if the parents are in want of anything—ἐὰν δέ τι ἐξαπορῶνται —they are to be provided for by their sons. In Syll 226.12 (iii/B.C.) it is used of the exhaustion of the public resources of Olbia—τῶν δὲ κοινῶν ἐξηπορημένων.
