Romans 1:8); 1 Corinthians 5:13 (ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν from your own society, opposed to them that are without, of whose character God must be the judge); 1 Corinthians 7:35; 1 Corinthians 11:13; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; αὐτοὶ οὗτοι, Acts 24:20; αὐτοῦ τούτου (masculine), Acts 25:25; Ἰησοῦς αὐτός Jesus himself, personally, opposed to those who baptized by his command, John 4:2; αὐτὸς Ἰησοῦς, opposed to those who believed on him on account of his miracles, John 2:24; Jesus himself, not others only, John 4:44; αὐτ. Δαυείδ, opposed to the doctors of the law, whose decision did not seem quite to agree with the words of David, Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42; αὐτὸς ὁ Σατανᾶς, opposed to his ministers, 2 Corinthians 11:14; αὐτὸς ὁ θεός, God himself, not another, Revelation 21:3; αὐτὰ τὰ ἐπουράνια, the heavenly things themselves [i. e. sanctuary], opposed to its copies, Hebrews 9:23 [see ἐπουράνιος , 1 c.].TGL αὐτός.6

c. it is used to distinguish one not only from his companions, disciples, servants — as Mark 2:25 (αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ); John 2:12; John 4:53; John 18:1 — but also from things done by him or belonging to him, as John 7:4 (τὶ ποιεῖ καὶ ζητεῖ αὐτός [L Tr marginal reading WH marginal reading αὐτό]); 1 Corinthians 3:15 (τινὸς τὸ ἔργον κατακαήσεται, αὐτὸς δὲ σωθήσεται); Luke 24:15 (αὐτὸς (ὁ) Ἰησοῦς, Jesus himself in person, opposed to their previous conversation about him).TGL αὐτός.7

d. self to the exclusion of others, i. e. he etc. alone, by oneself: Mark 6:31 (ὑμεῖς αὐτοί ye alone, unattended by any of the people; cf. Fritzsche at the passage); John 14:11 (διὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτά [WH marginal reading αὐτοῦ]); Romans 7:25 (αὐτὸς ἐγώ I alone, unaided by the Spirit of Christ; cf. Romans 8:2); 2 Corinthians 12:13 (αὐτὸς ἐγώ, unlike the other preachers of the gospel); Revelation 19:12; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 733 iii.; Matthew § 467, 5; Kühner, § 468 Anm. 2; [Jelf, § 656, 3]; with the addition of μόνος (as often in Attic writings): John 6:15.TGL αὐτός.8

e. self not prompted or influenced by another, i. e. of oneself of one's own accord: John 16:27 (so even Homer, Iliad 17, 254; and among Attic writings especially Xenophon).TGL αὐτός.9

2. When it gives Prominence, it answersTGL αὐτός.10

a. to our emphatic he, she, it: Matthew 1:21 (αὐτὸς σώσει HE and no other); Matthew 5:4-10 (αὐτοί); Matthew 6:4 [R G]; Matthew 17:5 (αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε); Luke 6:35; Luke 17:16; Luke 24:21; John 9:21 (αὐτὸς [T Tr WH omit]... αὐτὸν... αὐτός); Acts 10:42 [L text Tr text WH οὗτος]; Galatians 4:17 (αὐτούς); Ephesians 2:10 (αὐτοῦ); Colossians 1:17; 1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:5; James 2:6. So in Greek writings also from Homer down; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 734 v. It is used with the same force after relative sentences, where Greek prose uses οὗτος: Matthew 12:50 (ὅστις ἄν ποιήσῃ..., αὐτός μου ἀδελφός ἐστιν, where in Mark 3:35 οὗτος); Matthew 26:48; Mark 14:44; cf. Buttmann, 107f (94f). Less emphatically, αὐτός is put before subjects, serving to recall them again: Matthew 3:4 (αὐτὸς δὲ Ἰωάννης now he, whom I spoke of, John); Mark 6:17 (αὐτὸς γὰρ Ἡρώδης); Romans 8:16 (αὐτὸ τὸ πνεῦμα).TGL αὐτός.11

b. it points out some one as chief, leader, master of the rest (often so in Greek, as in the well-known phrase of the Pythagoreans, αὐτὸς ἔφα [cf. Winer's Grammar, § 22, 3, 4 and, p. 150 (142)]): of Christ, Matthew 8:24; Mark 4:38; Mark 6:47; Mark 8:29; Luke 5:16; Luke 9:51; Luke 10:38; of God, Luke 6:35; Hebrews 13:5; 1 John 4:19 [not Lachmann].TGL αὐτός.12

c. it answers to our very, just, exactly (German eben, gerade ): Romans 9:3 (αὐτὸς ἐγώ I myself, the very man who seems to be inimical to the Israelites); 2 Corinthians 10:1 (I myself, who bore myself lowly in your presence, as ye said); αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα, John 5:36; often in Luke ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ or ὥρᾳ, αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ, in that very day, hour, season: Luke 2:38; Luke 10:21; Luke 12:12; Luke 13:1, Luke 13:31; Luke 20:19; Luke 23:12; Luke 24:13, Luke 24:33; Acts 16:18. In the writings of Paul αὐτὸ τοῦτο this very thing: Galatians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 7:11; Philippians 1:6; εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο for this very purpose, on this very account: Romans 9:17; Romans 13:6; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Ephesians 6:22; Colossians 4:8; and in the same sense [for this very thing] the simple accusative (as in Attic, cf. Matth. § 470, 7; Kühner, 2:267 Anm. 6; Winer's Grammar, § 21 N. 2) τοῦτο αὐτό, 2 Corinthians 2:3 [but see Meyer at the passage], and αὐτὸ τοῦτο, 2 Peter 1:5 [Lachmann reads here αὐτοί].TGL αὐτός.13

d. even, Latin vel , adeo (in Homer; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 733 ii.): καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις, Romans 8:21; οὐδὲ ἡ φύσις αὐτή, 1 Corinthians 11:14; καὶ [Tr omits; L WH brackets καὶ] αὐτὸς ὁ υἱός, 1 Corinthians 15:28; καὶ αὐτὴ Σάρρα even Sarah herself, although a feeble old woman, Hebrews 11:11 [yet WH marginal reading reads the dative αὐτῇ Σάρρα; see καταβολή , 1].TGL αὐτός.14

II. αὐτός has the force of a simple personal pronoun of the third person, answering to our unemphatic he, she, it; and thatTGL αὐτός.15

1. as in classic Greek, in the oblique cases, him, her, it, them, etc.: numberless instances — as in the genitive absolute, e. g. αὐτοῦ ἐλθόντος, λαλήσαντος, etc.; or in the accusative with infinitive, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀναπολογήτους, Romans 1:20; or after prepositions, ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἐν αὐτῷ, etc.; or where it indicates the possessor, ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ; or a person as the (direct or indirect) object of an active verb, as ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ, Matthew 7:9; ἀσπάσασθε αὐτήν, Matthew 10:12; ἀφεὶς αὐτούς, Matthew 26:44; ἦν διανεύων αὐτοῖς, Luke 1:22; οὐκ εἴα αὐτὰ λαλεῖν, Luke 4:41; ἡ σκοτία αὐτὸ οὐ κατέλαβε, John 1:5. But see αὑτοῦ below.TGL αὐτός.16

2. Contrary to Greek usage, in the N. T. even in the nominative it is put for a simple personal pronoun of the third person, where the Greeks say οὗτος or ὁ δέ, or use no pronoun at all. This has been convincingly shown by Buttmann, 107ff (93ff); and yet some of the examples adduced by him are not decisive, but either must be or can be referred to the usage illustrated under I. 1; — those in which αὐτός is used of Christ, apparently to I. 1 b. But, in my opinion, the question is settled even by the following: αὐτός, Matthew 14:2; Mark 14:15; Luke 1:22; Luke 15:14; so too in the Sept. (cf. Thiersch, De Pentat. vers. Alex., p. 98); Sir. 49:7; Tobit 6:11; αὐτοί, Mark 2:8 (οὕτως αὐτοὶ διαλογίζονται in Griesbach); Luke 9:36; Luke 14:1; Luke 22:23; αὐτό, Luke 11:14 [Tr marginal reading WH omits; Tr text brackets]. Whether αὐτή and αὐταί also are so used, is doubtful; cf. Buttmann, 109 (95).TGL αὐτός.17

3. Sometimes in the oblique cases the pronoun is omitted, being evident from the context: Mark 6:5 (ἐπιθείς, namely, αὐτοῖς); John 3:34 (δίδωσι, namely, αὐτῷ); John 10:29 (δέδωκέ μοι, namely, αὐτούς); Acts 13:3 (ἀπέλυσαν, namely, αὐτούς); Revelation 18:21 (ἔβαλεν, namely, αὐτόν), etc.TGL αὐτός.18

4. Not infrequently αὐτός in the oblique cases is added to the verb, although the case belonging to this very verb has preceded: Matthew 8:1 (καταβάντι δὲ αὐτῷ [L Tr WH genitive absolutely] ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ); Matthew 4:16; Matthew 5:40; Matthew 8:23, Matthew 8:28 [R G]; Matthew 9:28; Matthew 25:29 (ἀπὸ [ommitted by L T Tr WH] τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος... ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ); Matthew 26:71 [R G L brackets T]; Mark 5:2 [R G]; Mark 9:28 [R G]; John 15:2 (πᾶν κλῆμα... αἴρει αὐτό); Acts 7:21 [R G]; James 4:17; Revelation 2:7; Revelation 6:4 [L Tr marginal reading brackets]; cf. Winers Grammar, § 22, 4 a.; Buttmann, 142 (125). Doubtless the writer, while writing the earlier words with the intention of joining them to the leading verb to follow, marked off these very words as a clause by themselves, as if they formed a protasis; and so, when he came to the leading verb, he construed it just as though it were to form an apodosis.TGL αὐτός.19

5. By a Hebraism αὐτός is used redundantly in relative sentences: ἧς εἴχετὸ θυγάτριον αὐτῆς, Mark 7:25; οὗ τῷ μώλωπι αὐτοῦ, 1 Peter 2:24 (R G T, but Tr marginal reading brackets αὐτοῦ); especially in the Apocalypse: ἥν οὐδεὶς δύναται κλεῖσαι αὐτήν, Revelation 3:8 (according to the true text); οἷς ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς, Revelation 7:2; add Revelation 7:9; Revelation 13:12; Revelation 17:9; far more often in the Sept. ; rare in Greek writings [from Callimachus, epistle 44]; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 709; [Buttmann, § 143, 1]; Winers Grammar, § 22, 4 b. where add to the examples Herodian, 8, 6, 10 [5 Bekker] οἷς ἐπιφοιτῶσι αὐτοῖς τὰς λοιπὰς πόλεις πύλαι ἀνοίγνυντο. But to this construction must not be referred Matthew 3:12 οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, nor 1 Peter 2:24 ὅς τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν αὐτὸς ἀνήνεγκεν. For in the latter passage αὐτός is in contrast with us, who must otherwise have paid the penalty of our sins; and in the former the sense is, 'he holds his winnowing-shovel in his hand.'TGL αὐτός.20

6. Very often αὐτός is used rather laxly, where the subject or the object to which it must be referred is not expressly indicated, but must be gathered especially from some preceding name of a province or city, or from the context: Matthew 4:23 (περιῆγεν τὴν Γαλιλαίαν διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν, i. e. of the Galilaeans); Acts 8:5 (Σαμαρείας ἐκήρυσσεν αὐτοῖς, i. e. τοῖς Σαμαρείταις); Acts 20:2 (αὐτούς, i. e. the inhabitants τῶν μερῶν ἐκείνων); 2 Corinthians 2:13 (αὐτοῖς, i. e. the Christians of Troas); Matthew 19:2 (ὄχλοι πολλοὶ καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς, i. e. their sick); 1 Peter 3:14 (φόβον αὐτῶν, i. e. of those who may be able κακῶσαι you, 1 Peter 3:13); Luke 23:51 (τῇ βουλῇ αὐτῶν, i. e. of those with whom he had been a βουλευτής); Hebrews 8:8 (αὐτοῖς [L T WH Tr marginal reading αὐτούς; see μέμφομαι ] i. e. τοῖς ἔχουσι τὴν διαθήκην τὴν πρώτην); Luke 2:22 (τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ αὐτῶν, of the purification prescribed by the law of Moses to women in child-bed); John 8:44 (ψεύστης ἐστὶν καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, i. e. of the liar; cf. Baumg.-Crusius and Meyer at the passage). By this rather careless use of the pronoun it came about that at length αὐτοί alone might be used for ἄνθρωποι: Matthew 8:4; Mark 1:44; Luke 5:14, Luke 5:17 [here T WH Tr marginal reading αὐτόν]; cf. Winers Grammar, § 22, 3; Buttmann, § 127, 8.TGL αὐτός.21

7. Sometimes, in relative sentences consisting of several members, the second member is not joined to the first by the relative ὅς, but by a loose connection proceeds with καὶ αὐτός; as, Luke 17:31; Acts 3:13 (ὅν ὑμεῖς παρεδώκατε καὶ ἠρνήσασθε αὐτόν [L T WH omit; Tr brackets αὐτόν]); 1 Corinthians 8:6 (ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν, for καὶ εἰς ὅν ἡμεῖς); 2 Peter 2:3. This is the usage likewise of Greek as well as of Hebrew; cf. Winers Grammar, 149 (141); [Buttmann, 283 (243)]; Bernhardy, p. 304.TGL αὐτός.22

III. ὁ αὐτός, ἡ αὐτή, τὸ αὐτό, with the article, the same;TGL αὐτός.23

1. without a noun: ὁ αὐτός, immutable, Hebrews 1:12; Hebrews 13:8 (Thucydides 2, 61); τὸ αὐτό: — ποιεῖν, Matthew 5:46 [R G T WH text, 47 L T Tr WH]; Luke 6:33; λέγειν, to profess the same opinion, 1 Corinthians 1:10; ὀνειδίζειν, not in the same manner but reproached him with the same, cast on him the same reproach, Matthew 27:44 (ὀνειδίζειν τοιαῦτα, Sophocles Oed. Col. 1002). τὰ αὐτά: Acts 15:27; Romans 2:1; Ephesians 6:9. ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό [Rec.^st passim ἐπιτοαυτό] (Hesychius ὁμοῦ, ἐπὶ τὸν αὐτὸν τόπον), to the same place, in the same place: Matthew 22:34; Acts 1:15; Acts 2:1; 1 Corinthians 11:20; 1 Corinthians 14:23 (Psalms 2:2; 2 Samuel 2:13; 3 Macc. 3:1; Susanna 14); together: Luke 17:35; Acts 3:1 [L T Tr WH join it to Acts 2:1-47; 1 Corinthians 7:5]; κατὰ τὸ αὐτό (Vulg. simul ), together: Acts 14:1 (for יַחַד, Exodus 26:24; 1 Kings 3:18; examples from Greek writings are given by Kypke, Observations, ii., p. 69ff). Like adjective of equality ὁ αὐτός is followed by the dative: ἕν καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ τῇ ἐξυρημένῃ, 1 Corinthians 11:5 (Wis. 18:11; 4 Macc. 8:5; 10:2, 13; and often in Greek writings, cf. Winer's Grammar, 150 (141)).TGL αὐτός.24

2. With a noun added: Matthew 26:44; Mark 14:39 (τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον); Luke 6:38 [R G L marginal reading] (τῷ αὐτῷ μέτρῳ); Philippians 1:30; 1 Corinthians 1:10 (ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοὶ); 1 Corinthians 12:4 (τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ πνεῦμα), etc. τὰ αὐτά (with the force of a substantive: the same kind) τῶν παθημάτων, 1 Peter 5:9. [Cf. ταὐτά .]TGL αὐτός.25

αὐτοῦ

(847) αὐτοῦ, properly, neuter genitive of the pronoun αὐτός, in that place, there, here: Matthew 26:36; [Luke 9:27 (R L ὧδε)]; Acts 15:34 (a spurious verse [see WH's Appendix, at the passage]); Acts 18:19. (L Tr marginal reading ἐκεῖ); Acts 21:4 (Lachmann αὐτοῖς).TGL αὐτοῦ.2

αὑτοῦ

(848) αὑτοῦ, -ῆς, -οῦ, of himself, herself, itself, equivalent to ἑαυτοῦ, which see. It is very common in the editions of the N. T. by the Elzevirs, Griesbach, Knapp, others; but Bengel, Matthaei, Lachmann, Tdf. , Trg. have everywhere substituted αὐτοῦ, αὐτῷ, etc. for αὑτοῦ, αὑτῷ, etc. "For I have observed that the former are used almost constantly [not always then? Grimm] not only in uncial manuscripts of the 8th, 9th, and 10th centuries, but also in many others (and not N. T. manuscripts alone). That this is the correct mode of writing is proved also by numerous examples where the pronoun is joined to prepositions; for these last are often found written not εφ, αφ, μεθ, καθ, ανθ, etc., but επ, απ, μετ, κατ, αντ." Tdf., Proleg. ad N. T., 2nd edition, p. 26 [ed. 8, p. 126]; cf. his Proleg. ad Sept. , edition 1, p. 70 [ed. 4, p. 33 (not in edition 6)]. Bleek entertains the same opinion and sets it forth at length in his note on Hebrews 1:3, vol. ii. 1, p. 67ff. The question is hard to decide, not only because the breathings and accents are lacking in the oldest manuscripts, but also because it often depends upon the mere preference of the writer or speaker whether he will speak in his own person, or according to the thought of the person spoken of. Certainly in the large majority of the passages in the N. T. αὐτοῦ is correctly restored; but apparently we ought to write δἰ αὑτοῦ (Rec. ἑαυτοῦ [so L marginal reading T WH]), Romans 14:14 [L text Tr δἰ αὐτ.]; εἰς αὑτόν, Colossians 1:20 [others, εἰς αὐτ.]; αὐτὸς περὶ αὑτοῦ [T Tr text WH ἑαυτοῦ), John 9:21. Cf. Winers Grammar, 151 (143); [Buttmann, 111f (97f); Bp. Lightfoot on Col. l. c, and see especially Hort in Westcott and Hort's Greek New Testament, Appendix, p. 144f; these editors have introduced the aspirated form into their text 'nearly twenty times' (e. g.

ἀφεδρών

(856) ἀφεδρών, -ῶνος, ὁ, apparently a word of Macedonian origin, which Suidas calls 'barbarous'; the place into which the alvine discharges are voided; a privy, sink; found only in Matthew 15:17; Mark 7:19. It appears to be derived not from ἀφ’ ἑδρων, a podicibus , but from ἄφεδρος, the same Macedonian word which in Leviticus 12:5; Leviticus 15:19 answers to the Hebrew נִדָּה sordes menstruorum . Cf.

Bengel, at the passage. (Often in Greek writings from Homer down; Xenophon, mem. 1, 2, 54 ἀχρεῖον καὶ ἀνωφελές. Sept. 2 Samuel 6:22 equivalent to שָׁפָל low, base.) [Synonyms: cf. Tittmann ii., p. 11f; Ellicott on Philemon 1:11.]TGL ἀχρεῖος.2

ἀχρειόω

(889) ἀχρειόω, -ῶ: 1 aorist passive ἠχρειώθην; (ἀχρεῖος, which see); to make useless, render unserviceable: of character, Romans 3:12 (from Psalms 13:3 (Psalms 14:3), where L marginal reading T Tr WH read ἠχρεώθησαν from the rarer ἄχρεος equivalent to ἀχρεῖος. (Several times properly, in Polybius)TGL ἀχρειόω.2

ἄχρηστος

(890) ἄχρηστος, -ον, (χρηστός, and this from χράομαι), useless, unprofitable: Philemon 1:11 (here opposed to εὔχρηστος). (In Greek writings from Homer [i. e. Batrach. 70; Theognis] down.) [Synonyms: cf. Tittmann ii. 11f; Trench, § c. 17; Ellicott on Philemon 1:11.]TGL ἄχρηστος.2

ἄχρι

(891) ἄχρι and ἄχρις (the latter of which in the N. T. is nowhere placed before a consonant, but the former before both vowels and consonants, although euphony is so far regarded that we almost constantly find ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας, ἄχρις οὗ, cf. Buttmann, 10 (9); [Winer's Grammar, 42]; and ἄχρι οὗ is not used except in Acts 7:18 and Revelation 2:25 by L T Tr WH and Luke 21:24 by T Tr WH; [to these instances must now be added 1 Corinthians 11:26 T WH; 1 Corinthians 15:25 T WH; Romans 11:25 WH (see their Appendix, p. 148); on the usage in secular authors ('where -ρι is the only Attic form, but in later authors the epic -ρις prevailed', Liddell and Scott, under the word) cf. Lobeck, Pathol. Elementa, vol. ii., p. 210f; Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 64; further, Klotz ad Devar. vol. ii. 1, p. 230f]); a particle indicating the terminus ad quem. (On its use in the Greek writings cf. Klotz as above, p. 224ff). It has the force now of a preposition now of a conjunction, even to; until, to the time that; (on its derivation see below).TGL ἄχρι.2

1. as a preposition it takes the genitive [cf. Winer's Grammar, § 54, 6], and is usedTGL ἄχρι.3

a. of place: Acts 11:5; Acts 13:6; Acts 20:4 [T Tr marginal reading WH omit; Tr text brackets]; Acts 28:15; 2 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 4:12 (see μερισμός , 2); Revelation 14:20; Revelation 18:5.TGL ἄχρι.4

b. of Time: ἄχρι καιροῦ, until a season that seemed to him opportune, Luke 4:13 [but cf. καιρός , 2 a.]; until a certain time, for a season, Acts 13:11; [ἄχρι (vel μέχρι, which see 1 a.) τοῦ θερισμοῦ, Matthew 13:30 WH marginal reading cf. ἕως , II. 5]; ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας until the day that etc. Matthew 24:38; Luke 1:20; Luke 17:27; Acts 1:2; [ἄχρι (Rec. et al. ἕως) τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς, Acts 1:22 Tdf. ]; ἄχρι ταύτης τῆς ἡμέρας and ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, Acts 2:29; Acts 23:1; Acts 26:22; ἄχρι [-ρις R G] ἡμερῶν πέντε even to the space of five days, i. e. after [A. V. in] five days, Acts 20:6; ἄχρις [-ρι T Tr WH] αὐγῆς, Acts 20:11; ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν, Romans 8:22; Philippians 1:5; ἄχρι τέλους, Hebrews 6:11; Revelation 2:26; see besides, Acts 3:21; [Acts 22:22]; Romans 1:13; Romans 5:13; 1 Corinthians 4:11; 2 Corinthians 3:14; Galatians 4:2; Philippians 1:6 [-ρι L T WH].TGL ἄχρι.5

c. of Manner and Degree: ἄχρι θανάτου, Acts 22:4 (even to delivering unto death); Revelation 2:10 (to the enduring of death itself); Revelation 12:11; and, in the opinion of many interpreters, Hebrews 4:12 [see μερισμός , 2].TGL ἄχρι.6

d. joined to the relative οὗ (ἄχρις οὗ for ἄχρι τούτου, ᾧ) it has the force of a conjunction, until, to the time that: followed by the indicative preterite, of things that actually occurred and up to the beginning of which something continued, Acts 7:18 (ἄχρις οὗ ἀνέστη βασιλεύς); Acts 27:33. followed by a subjunctive aorist having the force of a future perfect, Luke 21:24 L T Tr WH; Romans 11:25; 1 Corinthians 11:26 [Rec. ἄχρις οὗ ἄν]; Galatians 3:19 [not WH text (see 2 below)]; Galatians 4:19 [T Tr WH μέχρις]; Revelation 7:3 Rec.^elz G; ἄχρις οὗ ἄν until, whenever it may be [cf. Winer's Grammar, § 42, 5 b.], 1 Corinthians 15:25 [Rec. ]; Revelation 2:25. with indicative present as long as: Hebrews 3:13; cf. Bleek at the passage and Buttmann, 231 (199).TGL ἄχρι.7

Since ἄχρι is akin to ἀκή and ἀκρός [but cf. Vanicek, p. 22; Curtius, § 166], and μέχρι to μῆκος, μακρός, by the use of the former particle the reach to which a thing is said to extend is likened to a height, by the use of μέχρι, to a length; ἄχρι, indicating ascent, signifies up to; μέχρι, indicating extent, is unto, as far as; cf. Klotz as above, p. 225f. But this primitive distinction is often disregarded, and each particle used of the same thing; cf. ἄχρι τέλους, Hebrews 6:11; μέχρι τέλους, Hebrews 3:6, Hebrews 3:14; Xenophon, symp. 4, 37 περίεστί μοι καὶ ἐσθίοντι ἄχρι τοῦ μὴ πεινῆν ἀφικέσθαι καὶ πίνοντι μέχρι τοῦ μὴ διψῆν. Cf. Fritzsche on Romans 5:13, vol i., p. 308ff; [Ellicott on 2 Timothy 2:9. Ἄχρι occurs 20 times in the writings of Luke; elsewhere in the four Gospels only in Matthew 24:38.].TGL ἄχρι.8
