1. Avoiding an impending consequence or judgment · dominant

   In 1 Thessalonians 5:3, the aorist active subjunctive occurs as sudden destruction comes upon those claiming peace and security; the APB renders the clause "they will not escape." In Romans 2:3, Hebrews 2:3, and Hebrews 12:25, future forms ask whether a person or group will get away from God's judgment, from neglecting salvation, or from rejecting the heavenly warning.

2. Getting away from physical danger or confinement · common

   In 2 Corinthians 11:33, the first-person aorist active indicative follows being lowered through a window in a basket, and the APB says "escaped his hands." Acts 16:27 uses the perfect active infinitive for the jailer's supposition that prisoners had gotten away, while Acts 19:16 uses the aorist active infinitive after the possessed man overpowers them and they flee from the house.

3. Getting through events about to occur · occasional

   In Luke 21:36, the aorist active infinitive stands with prayer for strength concerning "all these things that are about to take place"; the APB renders the clause "strength to escape all these things."

   Luke 21:36

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly uses "escape," including inability to escape destruction, judgment, or coming events. In physical-flight contexts it also says "escaped his hands," that prisoners "had escaped," and that people "fled"; These render the verse-level situations rather than establish separate definitions.
