Strong's Lexicon pópote: Ever, at any time Original Word: πώποτε Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: pópote Pronunciation: PO-po-te Phonetic Spelling: (po'-pot-e) Definition: at any time, ever. Meaning: The adverb πώποτε is used to express the concept of "ever" or "at any time," often in a negative context to mean "never." Word Origin: Derived from the combination of two Greek particles: πώ (pō) meaning "ever" and ποτε (pote) meaning "at some time" or "once." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πώποτε, similar concepts of negation or the idea of "never" can be found in Hebrew words such as לֹא (lo, Strong's H3808) meaning "not" or "no," and עוֹלָם (olam, Strong's H5769) when used in contexts implying "never" or "eternity" in a negative sense. These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to convey the idea of something that has never happened or will never happen. Usage: This word is typically used in the New Testament to emphasize the negation of an event or action having ever occurred. It is often found in rhetorical questions or statements to stress the impossibility or non-occurrence of something. Context: The Greek adverb πώποτε appears in the New Testament to underscore the absence of an event or action in the past. It is used to convey a strong sense of negation, often in the context of a rhetorical question or emphatic statement. For example, in John 1:18, the phrase "No one has ever seen God" uses πώποτε to emphasize the absolute nature of the statement. The use of πώποτε in the New Testament serves to highlight the uniqueness or unprecedented nature of certain events or revelations, often pointing to the divine or miraculous. Its usage is relatively rare, which adds to its emphatic nature when it does appear. In the Berean Standard Bible, πώποτε is translated in contexts that require a strong negation, such as in John 5:37, where Jesus states, "You have never heard His voice nor seen His form." Here, πώποτε underscores the complete lack of direct sensory experience of God by the audience. This usage aligns with the broader theological themes of the New Testament, where the revelation of God through Jesus Christ is presented as a new and unparalleled event in human history.
