Strong's Lexicon pantós: Certainly, surely, by all means, altogether, at all events Original Word: πάντως Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: pantós Pronunciation: pan-tos' Phonetic Spelling: (pan'-toce) Definition: Certainly, surely, by all means, altogether, at all events Meaning: wholly, entirely, in every way, by all means, certainly. Word Origin: Derived from πᾶς (pas), meaning "all" or "every." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the adverb πάντως, the concept of certainty or assurance can be found in Hebrew words like אָמֵן (amen, Strong's H543), which means "truly" or "so be it." Usage: The adverb πάντως (pantós) is used in the New Testament to express certainty or emphasis. It conveys the idea of something being definite or assured. It can be translated as "certainly," "surely," or "by all means," indicating a strong affirmation or assurance of what is being stated. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, Greek was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean. The use of adverbs like πάντως was common in Koine Greek to provide emphasis or certainty in communication. This reflects the cultural importance of clarity and assurance in both spoken and written discourse during the time.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3843: πάντως πάντως (from πᾶς), adverb, altogether (Latinomnino), i. e. a. in any and every way, by all means: 1 Corinthians 9:22 (so from Herodotus down). b. doubtless, surely, certainly: Luke 4:23; Acts 18:21 (Rec.); ; 1 Corinthians 9:10 (Tobit 14:8; Aelian v. h. 1, 32; by Plato in answers (cf. our colloquial by all means)). with the negative οὐ, α. where οὐ is postpositive, in no wise, not at all: 1 Corinthians 16:12 (often so as far back as Homer). β. when the negative precedes, the force of the adverb is restricted: οὐ πάντως, not entirely, not altogether, 1 Corinthians 5:10; not in all things, not in all respects, Romans 3:9; (rarely equivalent to πάντως οὐ, as in Ep. ad Diogn. 9 [ET] 'God οὐ πάντως ἐφηδόμενος τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασιν ἡμῶν.' Likewise, οὐδέν πάντως in Herodotus 5, 34. But in Theognis, 305 edition, Bekker οἱ κακοί οὐ πάντως κακοί ἐκ γαστρός γεγόνασι κτλ. is best translated not wholly, not entirely. Cf. Winers Grammar, 554f (515f); Buttmann, 389f (334f) (on whose interpretation of Romans, the passage cited, although it is that now generally adopted, see Weiss in Meyer 6te Aufl.)).
