Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g622 Greek: apollumi

Lose, (Suffer) Loss, Lost:

signifies

(I) In the Active Voice,

(a) "to destroy, destroy utterly, kill," e.g., Mat 10:28; Mar 1:24; 9:22;

(b) "to lose utterly," e.g., Mat 10:42, of "losing" a reward; Luk 15:4 (1st part), of "losing" a sheep; Luk 9:25, of "losing" oneself (of the "loss" of well-being hereafter); metaphorically, Jhn 6:39, of failing to save; Jhn 18:9, of Christ's not "losing" His own;

(II) in the Middle Voice,

(a) "to perish," of things, e.g., Jhn 6:12 "(that nothing) be lost;" of persons, e.g., Mat 8:25, "we perish;" of the "loss" of eternal life, usually (always in the RV) translated to perish, Jhn 3:16; 17:12, AV, "is lost," RV, "perished;" 2Cr 4:3, "are perishing," AV, "are lost" (see PERISH);

(b) "to be lost," e.g., Luk 15:4 (2nd part), "which is lost;" metaphorically, from the relation between shepherd and flock, of spiritual destitution and alienation from God, Mat 10:6, "(the) lost (sheep)" of the house of Israel; Luk 19:10 (the perfect tense translated "lost" is here intransitive).
See DESTROY.

2 Strong's Number: g2210 Greek: zemioo

Lose, (Suffer) Loss, Lost:

"to damage" (akin to zemia, "damage," e.g., Act 27:10, 21), is used in the NT, in the Passive Voice, signifying "to suffer loss, forfeit, lose," Mat 16:26; Mar 8:36, of losing one's soul or life; Luk 9:25, RV, "forfeit (his own self)," AV, "be cast away" (for the preceding verb see No. 1); 1Cr 3:15, "he shall suffer loss," i.e., at the Judgment-Seat of Christ (see 1Cr 3:13 with 2Cr 5:10); 2Cr 7:9, "(that) ye might suffer loss," RV (AV, "might receive damage"); though the Apostle did regret the necessity of making them sorry by his letter, he rejoiced that they were made sorry after a godly sort, and that they thus suffered no spiritual loss, which they would have done had their sorrow been otherwise than after a godly manner; in Phl 3:8, "I suffered the loss (of all things)," RV, i.e., of all things which he formerly counted gain (especially those in verses Phl 3:5, 6, to which the article before "all things" points).
See CAST, FORFEIT.
