Exegesis
Finally, the genitive relative clause hyper hou Christos apethanen {ὑπὲρ οὗ Χριστὸς ἀπέθανεν | hy-pèr hoû Khris-tós a-pé-tha-nen} ‘for whom Christ died’ grounds the warning in Christ’s sacrificial death. These syntactic features informed rendering ἀπόλλυε as “bring to ruin” in the formal to stress relational destruction and as “damage” in the dynamic for everyday clarity.
In context — Romans 14:15
For if your brother is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking according to love . Do not, by your food, bring to ruin the one for whom Christ died.
