| A-1 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g926 | Greek: barus |
Grievous, Grievously:
denotes "heavy, burdensome;" it is always used metaphorically in the NT, and is translated "heavy" in Mat 23:4, of Pharisaical ordinances; in the comparative degree "weightier," Mat 23:23, of details of the law of God; "grievous," metaphorically of wolves, in Act 20:29; of charges, Act 25:7; negatively of God's commandments, 1Jo 5:3 (causing a burden on him who fulfills them); in 2Cr 10:10, "weighty," of Paul's letters.
See HEAVY, WEIGHTY.
| A-2 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g4190 | Greek: poneros |

"painful, bad," is translated "grievous" in Rev 16:2, of a sore inflicted retributively.

| A-3 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g1419 | Greek: dusbastaktos |
Grievous, Grievously:
"hard to be borne" (from dus, an inseparable prefix, like Eng. "mis-," and "un-," indicating "difficulty, injuriousness, opposition," etc., and bastazo, "to bear"), is used in Luk 11:46 and, in some mss., in Mat 23:4, "grievous to be borne;" in the latter the RV marg. has "many ancient authorities omit."
| A-4 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g5467 | Greek: chalepos |
Grievous, Grievously:
"hard," signifies
(a) "hard to deal with," Mat 8:28 (see FIERCE);
(b) "hard to bear, grievous," 2Ti 3:1, RV, "greivous" (AV, "perilous"), said of a characteristic of the last days of this age.
See FIERCE.
Notes:
(1) For the noun lupe, "grievous," in Hbr 12:11, see GRIEF.
(2) In Phl 3:1, the adjective okneros, "shrinking," or "causing shrinking," hence, "tedious" (akin to okneo, "to shrink"), is rendered "irksome" in the RV (AV, "grievous"); the Apostle intimates that, not finding his message tedious, he has no hesitation in giving it. In Mat 25:26; Rom 12:11, "slothful."
| B-1 | Adverb | Strong's Number: g1171 | Greek: deinos |
Grievous, Grievously:
akin to deos, "fear," signifies
(a) "terribly," Mat 8:6, "grievously (tormented);"

See VEHEMENTLY.
| B-2 | Adverb | Strong's Number: g2556 | Greek: kakos |
Grievous, Grievously:
"badly, ill," is translated "grievously (vexed)," in Mat 15:22.
See AMISS, EVIL, MISERABLY, SORE.
Notes:
(1) In Mar 9:20; Luk 9:42, the RV renders the verb susparasso "tare (him) grievously," the adverb bringing out the intensive force of the prefix su-- (i.e., sun); the meaning may be "threw violently to the ground."
(2) In Mat 17:15, the idiomatic phrase, consisting of No. 2 (above) with echo, "to have," (lit., "hath badly"), is rendered "suffereth grievously," RV (AV, "is... sore vexed").
