'Force' in the Bible

From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
