Strong's Lexicon
exó: Outside, without, out

Original Word: ἔξω
Part of Speech: Adverb
Transliteration: exó
Pronunciation: ek'-so
Phonetic Spelling: (ex'-o)
Definition: Outside, without, out
Meaning: without, outside.

Word Origin: From the primary preposition ἐκ (ek), meaning "out of" or "from."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is חוּץ (chuts), meaning "outside" or "without."

Usage: The Greek adverb "ἔξω" (exó) is used to denote a position or state of being outside or beyond a certain boundary or limit. It is often used in the New Testament to describe physical locations, such as being outside a city or building, as well as metaphorical or spiritual states, such as being outside the community of believers or outside the will of God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, the concept of being "outside" carried significant implications. For the Jewish people, being outside the camp or city could mean being ritually unclean or excluded from the community. In the Greco-Roman world, being outside could also imply exclusion from social or religious gatherings. The use of "exó" in the New Testament often reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing themes of inclusion and exclusion, purity and impurity, and belonging and alienation.

STRONGS NT 1854: ἔξω

ἔξω, adverb (from ἐξ, as ἔσω and εἴσω from ἐς and εἰς);

1. without, out of doors;

a. adverbially: Mark 11:4; joined with verbs: ἑστάναι, Matthew 12:46, 47 (WH text omit the verse); Mark 3:31; Luke 8:20; Luke 13:25; John 18:16; John 20:11 (Lachmann omits); καθῆσθαι, Matthew 26:69; or with some other verb declaring that the person without is doing something, Mark 3:31. Preceded by the article ἔξω, absolutely, he who is without, properly, of place; metaphorically, in plural, those who do not belong to the Christian church (cf. Lightfoot on Col. as below; Meyer on Mark as below): 1 Corinthians 5:12, 13; Colossians 4:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:12; those who are not of the number of the apostles, Mark 4:11 ((cf. Meyer) WH marginal reading ἔξωθεν, which see). With a noun added: αἱ ἔξω πόλεις, foreign, Acts 26:11; ἔξω ἄνθρωπος, the outer man, i. e. the body (see ἄνθρωπος, 1 e.), 2 Corinthians 4:16.

b. it takes the place of a preposition and is joined with the genitive, without i. e. out of, outside of (Winer's Grammar, § 54, 6): Luke 13:33; Acts 21:5; Hebrews 13:11, 12.

2. after the verbs of going, sending, placing, leading, drawing, etc., which commonly take prepositions or adverbs signifying rest in a place rather than those expressive of motion toward a place, ἔξω has the force of the Latinforas (German hinaus,heraus), forth out, out of;

a. adverbially, after the verbs ἐξέρχομαι, Matthew 26:75; Mark 14:68; Luke 22:62; John 19:4, 5; Revelation 3:12; ἄγω, John 19:4, 13; προάγω, Acts 16:30; ἐξάγω, Luke 24:50 (R G L brackets); βάλλω and ἐκβάλλω, Matthew 5:13; Matthew 13:48; Luke 8:54 R G; (); John 6:37; John 9:34, 35; John 12:31; John 15:6; Acts 9:40; 1 John 4:18; Revelation 11:2 R G; δεῦρο ἔξω, John 11:43; ἔξω ποιεῖν τινα, Acts 5:34.

b. as a preposition with the genitive: after ἀπελθεῖν, Acts 4:15; ἀποστέλλειν, Mark 5:10; ἐκβάλλειν, Mark 12:8; Luke 4:29; Luke 20:15; Acts 7:58; ἐξέρχεσθαι, Matthew 21:17; Acts 16:13; Hebrews 13:13; ἐκπορεύεσθαι, Mark 11:19; ἐξάγειν, Mark 8:23 (R G L Tr marginal reading); σύρειν τινα, Acts 14:19; έ῾λκειν τινα, Acts 21:30.
