Strong's Lexicon méketi: No longer, no more, not anymore Original Word: μηκέτι Part of Speech: Adverb, Negative Transliteration: méketi Pronunciation: may-KEH-tee Phonetic Spelling: (may-ket'-ee) Definition: No longer, no more, not anymore Meaning: no longer, no more. Word Origin: From the Greek words μή (mē), meaning "not," and ἔτι (eti), meaning "yet" or "still." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μηκέτι, the concept of ceasing or stopping is present in Hebrew words like חָדַל (chadal, Strong's H2308), meaning "to cease" or "to desist." Usage: The adverb μηκέτι (méketi) is used in the New Testament to indicate the cessation of an action or state. It conveys the idea of something that should not continue or persist any longer. It is often used in contexts where a change in behavior or condition is being urged or declared. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, language was a powerful tool for instruction and moral exhortation. The use of μηκέτι in the New Testament reflects the early Christian emphasis on transformation and the abandonment of former ways of life. This term would have resonated with audiences familiar with philosophical and ethical teachings that called for a break from past behaviors.
