2.
(
!
, 3368), virtually the same as No. 1, the negative , however,
conveying a less strong declarative negation, 2 Tim. 3:7.¶
3.
$
(
' !
, 3764), “not yet,” is translated “never (man) yet” in John 19:41
(“man” representing the idiomatically used negative pronoun
$
, “no one”); some
mss. have it in Luke 23:53, instead of
$
, “not yet.”
Notes:
(1) In Mark 14:21,
KJV
, the negative particle
$
, “not,” is translated “never”
(
RV
, “not”); the negative particle , “not” (which suggests nonexistence when the
existence was after all possible, or even probable, in contrast to
$
, which implies
nonexistence absolutely), is translated “never” in John 7:15,
KJV
and
RV
(2) The phrase
, “for ever” (not to be rendered literally, “unto the age,” see
ETERNAL
),
preceded by the double negative
$
, denotes “never,” John 4:14; 8:51-52; 10:28;
11:26; 13:8; so, preceded by
$
, “not,” in Mark 3:29. (3) In 2 Pet. 1:10, “never” is the
translation of
$
, i.e., “by no means ever”; so with the double negative followed
by the extended word
, i.e., “by no means not even at any time,” John 6:35 (2nd
part). (4)
8
follows
$
, “no one,” in the dative case (“to no man”) in John 8:33,
RV
, “never yet” (
KJV
, “never”); so in Luke 19:30, where
$
is in the nominative case,
RV
, “no man ever yet” (
KJV
, “yet never man”).

NEW
1.
(
, 2537) denotes “new,” of that which is unaccustomed or unused,
not “new” in time, recent, but “new” as to form or quality, of different nature from what
is contrasted as old. “ ‘The new tongues,’ kainos, of Mark 16:17 are the ‘other tongues,’
heteros, of Acts 2:4. These languages, however, were ‘new’ and ‘different,’ not in the
sense that they had never been heard before, or that they were new to the hearers, for it is
plain from v. 8 that this is not the case; they were new languages to the speakers,
different from those in which they were accustomed to speak.
“The new things that the Gospel brings for present obedience and realization are: a
new covenant, Matt. 26:28 in some texts; a new commandment, John 13:34; a new
creative act, Gal. 6:15; a new creation, 2 Cor. 5:17; a new man, i.e., a new character of
manhood, spiritual and moral, after the pattern of Christ, Eph. 4:24; a new man, i.e., ‘the
Church which is His (Christ’s) body,’ Eph. 2:15.
“The new things that are to be received and enjoyed hereafter are: a new name, the
believer’s, Rev. 2:17; a new name, the Lord’s, Rev. 3:12; a new song, Rev. 5:9; a new
Heaven and a new Earth, Rev. 21:1; the new Jerusalem, Rev. 3:12; 21:2; ‘And He that
sitteth on the Throne said, Behold, I make all things new,’ Rev. 21:5”*
is translated “fresh” in the
RV
of Matt. 9:17; Mark 2:22 (in the best texts) and
Luke 5:38, of wineskins. Cf.
, “newness” (below).
