18:21, “by all means,” (
KJV
, “only”); so in 1 Cor. 9:22, both
RV
and
KJV
; in Acts 21:22,
“certainly” (
KJV
, “needs,” which does not give an accurate meaning); in Acts 28:4, “no
doubt”; in Rom. 3:9, “in no wise” (lit., “not at all”), so in 1 Cor. 16:12. In Acts 26:29 the
KJV
has given a misleading rendering in the phrase “both almost and altogether”; there is
no Greek word here which means “altogether”; the
RV
corrects to “whether with little or
with much.” See
ALL

2.

ALWAY, ALWAYS
1. (
&
, 104) has two meanings: (a) “perpetually, incessantly,” Acts 7:51; 2 Cor.
4:11; 6:10; Titus 1:12; Heb. 3:10; (b) “invariably, at any and every time,” of successive
occurrences, when some thing is to be repeated, according to the circumstances, 1 Pet.
3:15; 2 Pet. 1:12. See

(

, 1539), from
, “each,” is used in 2 Pet. 1:15,
RV
, “at
every time” (
KJV
, “always”). See
TIME
.¶
3.
(
, 1275) is, lit., “through all,” i.e., through all time, ( ,
“through,”
, “all”). In the best texts the words are separated. The phrase, which is used
of the time throughout which a thing is done, is sometimes rendered “continually,”
sometimes “always”; “always” or “alway” in Mark 5:5; Acts 10:2; 24:16; Rom. 11:10;
“continually” in Luke 24:53; Heb. 9:6; 13:15, the idea being that of a continuous practice
carried on without being abandoned. See
CONTINUALLY

4 and 5.
(
1
, 3839), and
(

, 3842) are derived from
, “all.”
The former is found in Acts 24:3.¶ The latter is the usual word for “always.” See

.
Note:
Two phrases, rendered “always” or “alway” in the
KJV
, are
(lit.,
“in every season”), Luke 21:36,
RV
, “at every season,” Eph. 6:18,
RV
, “at all seasons,”
and
, (lit., “all the days”), Matt. 28:20,
KJV
and
RV
, “alway.”
AMAZE, AMAZEMENT
A. Nouns.
1.
(
+
, 1611) is, lit., “a standing out” ( , “out of,”
, “a
standing”). Eng. “ecstasy” is a transliteration. It is translated “amazement” in Acts 3:10.
It was said of any displacement, and especially, with reference to the mind, of that
alteration of the normal condition by which the person is thrown into a state of surprise or
fear, or both; or again, in which a person is so transported out of his natural state that he
falls into a trance, Acts 10:10; 11:5; 22:17. As to the other meaning, the
RV
has
“amazement” in Mark 5:42 and Luke 5:26, but “astonishment” in Mark 16:8. See
TRANCE
.¶
2.
(
1
, 2285), “amazement, wonder,” is probably connected with a root
signifying “to render immovable”; it is frequently associated with terror as well as
astonishment, as with the verb (No. 3, below) in Acts 9:6. It occurs in Luke 4:36; 5:9;
Acts 3:10. See
