b. in questions, then, therefore (Latinigitur); αあるふぁ. when the question is, what follows or seems to follow from what has been said: Matthew 22:28; Matthew 27:22 (Winer's Grammar, 455 (424)); Mark 15:12; Luke 3:10; Luke 20:15, 33; John 8:5; τί οおみくろんὖνにゅー ἐρろーοおみくろんῦμみゅーεいぷしろんνにゅー; Romans 6:1; Romans 7:7; Romans 9:14; τί οおみくろんὖνにゅー φημί; 1 Corinthians 10:19; τί οおみくろんὖνにゅー; what then? i. e. how then does the matter stand? (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 64, 2 a.), John 1:21 (here WH marginal reading punct. τί οおみくろんὖνにゅー σύ;) Romans 3:9; Romans 6:15; Romans 11:7; also τί οおみくろんὖνにゅー ἐσしぐまτたうιいおたνにゅー; (what is it then?) Acts 21:22; 1 Corinthians 14:15, 26. βべーた. when it is asked, whether this or that follows from what has just been said: Matthew 13:28; Luke 22:70; John 18:39; Romans 3:31; Galatians 3:21. γがんま. when it is asked, how something which is true or regarded as true, or what someone does, can be reconciled with what has been previously said or done: Matthew 12:26; Matthew 13:27; Matthew 17:10 (where the thought is, 'thou commandest us to tell no one about this vision we have had of Elijah; what relation then to this vision has the doctrine of the scribes concerning the coming of Elijah? Is not this doctrine confirmed by the vision?'); Matthew 19:7; Matthew 26:54; Luke 20:17; John 4:11 (Tdf. omits οおみくろんὖνにゅー); Acts 15:10 (νにゅーῦνにゅー οおみくろんὖνにゅー, now therefore, i. e. at this time, therefore, when God makes known his will so plainly); Acts 19:3; Romans 4:1 (where the meaning is, 'If everything depends on faith, what shall we say that Abraham gained by outward things, i. e. by works?' (but note the critical texts)); 1 Corinthians 6:15; Galatians 3:5. δでるた. in general, it serves simply to subjoin questions suggested by what has just been said: Romans 3:27; Romans 4:9f.; ; 1 Corinthians 3:5, etc.

c. in epanalepsis, i. e. it serves to resume a thought or narrative interrupted by intervening matter (Matthiae, 2, p. 1497; (Winers Grammar, 444 (414))), like Latinigitur,inquam, our as was said, say I, to proceed, etc.; Mark 3:31 (R G) (cf. Mark 3:21); Luke 3:7 (cf. Luke 3:3); John 4:45 (cf. John 4:43); (cf. ); 1 Corinthians 8:4; 1 Corinthians 11:20 (cf. John 11:18); add, Mark 16:19 (Tr marginal reading brackets οおみくろんὖνにゅー); Acts 8:25; Acts 12:5; Acts 13:4; Acts 15:3, 30; Acts 23:31; Acts 25:1; Acts 28:5. It is used also when one passes at length to a subject about which he had previously intimated an intention to speak: Acts 26:4, 9.

d. it serves to gather up summarily what has already been said, or even what cannot be narrated at length: Matthew 1:17; Matthew 7:24 (where no reference is made to what has just before been said (?), but all the moral precepts of the Serm. on the Mount are summed up in a single rule common to all); Luke 3:18; John 20:30; Acts 26:22.

e. it serves to adapt examples and comparisons to the case in hand: John 3:29; John 16:22; — or to add examples to illustrate the subject under consideration: Romans 12:20 Rec. f. In historical discourse it serves to make the transition from one tiring to another, and to connect the several parts and portions of the narrative, since the new occurrences spring from or are occasioned by what precedes (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 60, 3): Luke 6:9 R G; numberless times so in John, as (Lachmann omits); (Tdf. omits); (G T omit), ; , etc.

g. with other conjunction οおみくろんὖνにゅー, so then, Latinhincigitur, in Paul; see ἄρろーαあるふぁ, 5. εいぷしろんἰ οおみくろんὖνにゅー, if then (where what has just been said and proved is carried over to prove something else), see εいぷしろんἰ, III. 12; (εいぷしろんἰ μέν οおみくろんὖνにゅー, see μέν, II. 4, p. 398{b}). εいぷしろんἴτたうεいぷしろん οおみくろんὖνにゅー ... εいぷしろんἴτたうεいぷしろん, whether then ... or: 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 15:11. ἐπεί οおみくろんὖνにゅー, since then: Hebrews 2:14; Hebrews 4:6; for which also a participle is put with οおみくろんὖνにゅー, as Acts 2:30; Acts 15:2 (T Tr WH δέ); ; Romans 5:1; Romans 15:28; 2 Corinthians 3:12; 2 Corinthians 5:11; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 4:14; Hebrews 10:19; 1 Peter 4:1; 2 Peter 3:11 (WH Tr marginal reading οおみくろんὕτως). ἐάν οおみくろんὖνにゅー, if then ever, in case then, or rather, therefore if, therefore in case (for in this formula, οおみくろんὖνにゅー, although placed in the protasis, yet belongs more to the apodosis, since it shows what will necessarily follow from what precedes if the condition introduced by ἐάν shall ever take place): Matthew 5:23 (cf. Winer's Grammar, 455 (424)); (here Tdf. omits οおみくろんὖνにゅー); ; Luke 4:7; John 6:62; John 8:36; Romans 2:26; 1 Corinthians 14:11, 23; 2 Timothy 2:21; ἐάν οおみくろんὖνにゅー μή, Revelation 3:3; so also ὅτたうαあるふぁνにゅー οおみくろんὖνにゅー, when therefore: Matthew 6:2; Matthew 21:40; Matthew 24:15, and R G in Luke 11:34. ὅτたうεいぷしろん οおみくろんὖνにゅー, when (or after) therefore, so when: John 13:12, 31 ((30) Rec.bez elz L T Tr WH); ; equivalent to hence, it came to pass that, when etc., John 2:22; John 19:6, 8. ὡς οおみくろんὖνにゅー, when (or after) therefore: John 4:1, 40; John 11:6; John 18:6; John 20:11; John 21:9; ὡς οおみくろんὖνにゅー, as therefore, Colossians 2:6. ὥσπερ οおみくろんὖνにゅー, Matthew 13:40. μέν οおみくろんὖνにゅー, followed by δέ (cf. Buttmann, § 149, 16), Mark 16:19 (Tr marginal reading brackets οおみくろんὖνにゅー); John 19:25; Acts 1:6; Acts 8:4, 25; 1 Corinthians 9:25, etc.; without an adversative conjunc. following, see μέν, II. 4. νにゅーῦνにゅー οおみくろんὖνにゅー, see above under a., and b. γがんま. h. As to position, it is never the first word in the sentence, but generally the second, sometimes the third (sometimes even the fourth, Winer's Grammar, § 61, 6); as (περί τたうῆς βρώσεως οおみくろんὖνにゅー etc. 1 Corinthians 8:4); οおみくろんἱ μέν οおみくろんὖνにゅー, Acts 2:41, and often; πολλά μέν οおみくろんὖνにゅー, John 20:30. John uses this particle in his Gospel far more frequently ((more than two hundred times in all)) than the other N. T. writers; in his Epistles only in the following passages: 1 John 2:24 (where G L T Tr WH have expunged it); Lachmann; 3 John 1:8. ((From Homer down.))

Apparently a primary word; (adverbially) certainly, or (conjunctionally) accordingly -- and (so, truly), but, now (then), so (likewise then), then, therefore, verily, wherefore.
