10.
(
6
, 3676), “yet, nevertheless,” is translated “even” in 1 Cor. 14:7 (
KJV
,
“and even”); elsewhere John 12:42, “nevertheless”; Gal. 3:15, “yet” (i.e., “nevertheless,”
an example of hyperbaton, by which a word is placed out of its true position).¶
Notes:
(1) In Rom. 1:26, there is no word representing “even” in the original. The
KJV
seems to have put it for the particle , which simply annexes the statement to the
preceding and does not require translation. (2) In 1 Thess. 2:18 the
KJV
renders the
particle
by “even”; if translated, it signifies “indeed.” (3) In 1 Cor. 12:2,
(see
No. 4, above), followed by the particle , means “howsoever” (
RV
, for
KJV
, “even as”).
(4) In Matt. 23:37, “even as” translates the phrase
, lit., “(in) what manner.”
(5) In 1 Tim. 3:11,
$
, a strengthened form of No. 4, “likewise, in like manner,” is
rendered “even so,”
KJV
(
RV
, “in like manner”). (6)
, for
, means either “even
I” or “even so I” or “I also.” In John 10:15, the
RV
has “and I” for the
KJV
, “even so … I”;
in 17:18 and 20:21,
KJV
and
RV
, “even so I”; in the following,
is preceded by
, or
, “even as I, "1 Cor. 7:8; 10:33; “even as I also,” 11:1; “as I also,” Rev. 2:27. (7) In
Luke 12:7 the
RV
renders
by “very” (for
KJV
, “even the very”). (8) In John 6:57
(for
, “also he”), is translated “he also,”
RV
, for
KJV
, “even he.” (9)
In Eph. 1:10 there is no word in the original for “even.” The
RV
expresses the stress on
the pronoun by “in Him, I say.”
