nikao is used of prevailing over hostile figures, evil, the world, or an adversary in conflict.

The verb consistently marks prevailing over an opposing person, power, or obstacle: a stronger attacker defeats his target, people overcome evil or the world, and those identified as conquering receive the outcomes stated in Revelation.

   In Luke 11:22, the aorist active subjunctive occurs when a stronger attacker defeats another and takes his armor and spoils; in 1 John 2:13, the perfect active indicative describes young men as having overcome the evil one. In Revelation 3:21, the present active participle identifies the one conquering in a promise of sharing a throne, while Revelation 13:7 places the infinitive in a war against the saints.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “conquer” and “overcome,” such as “you have overcome the evil one” in 1 John 2:13 and “conquer them” in Revelation 13:7. These renderings confirm the clauses' conflict and victory language rather than establish separate meanings.
