Exegesis
The first clause, estaurothe ex astheneias {ἐσταυρώθη ἐξ ἀσθενείας | estaurṓthē ex astheneías} “He was crucified out of weakness,” employs an aorist passive indicative to present the crucifixion as a completed action and a genitive of sphere after ex to highlight apparent human frailty.

In context — 2 Corinthians 13:4
