Strong's Lexicon plén: Nevertheless, but, except, however Original Word: πλήν Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: plén Pronunciation: playn Phonetic Spelling: (plane) Definition: Nevertheless, but, except, however Meaning: however, nevertheless, but, except that, yet. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word πλήρης (plērēs), meaning "full" or "complete." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "plén," similar conjunctions in Hebrew that convey contrast or exception include אֲבָל (aval) and רַק (raq). Usage: The Greek word "plén" is used as a conjunction or adverb to introduce a contrast or exception. It often serves to highlight a shift in thought or to introduce a qualification to a preceding statement. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of "nevertheless" or "however," indicating a transition or a contrast to what has been previously mentioned. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire, "plén" was used in both literary and colloquial settings to denote a shift in argument or narrative. Its usage in the New Testament reflects the rhetorical style of the period, where authors often employed conjunctions to guide readers through complex theological and moral discussions.
