καταδουλ-όω G2615
enslave, bring into bondage, reduce to slavery whether literal or metaphorical
This verb describes the act of enslaving, whether politically or spiritually. Paul warns the Galatians (2:4) about false brothers who 'slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave (καταδουλώσουσιν) us'—a spiritual bondage to law-based righteousness. In 2 Corinthians 11:20, Paul sarcastically describes how the Corinthians tolerate those who 'enslave (καταδουλοῖ) you, devour you, take advantage of you.' The term conveys domination, the loss of freedom, and subjugation to another's will. It stands opposed to the liberty Christ brings, exposing any teaching or authority that binds believers instead of freeing them.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both Pauline uses involve false teachers or leaders imposing bondage on believers. Classical usage (LSJ) includes reducing cities or people to slavery, breaking their spirit. Spanish 'esclavizar' (to enslave) and French/German forms ('asservir,' 'knechten') express the domination. Paul's apostolic burden is to guard the freedom won by Christ against those who would re-impose bondage—whether through legalism (Galatians) or authoritarian control (2 Corinthians). The verb starkly contrasts the gospel's liberating power with the oppressive tactics of its opponents. 2×
