Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐπί" (epi, meaning "upon" or "after") and the adverbial suffix "-εἶτα" (eita, indicating sequence).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek adverb ἔπειτα, similar concepts of sequence and progression can be found in Hebrew through words like "אַחַר" (achar, Strong's Hebrew 310), meaning "after" or "behind," and "אָז" (az, Strong's Hebrew 227), meaning "then" or "at that time." These Hebrew terms are used in the Old Testament to convey a sense of temporal or logical sequence, similar to the function of ἔπειτα in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: ἔπειτα is used in the New Testament to denote a sequence of events, often in narrative or logical progression. It appears in contexts where one event follows another, either immediately or after an interval.

Context: ἔπειτα is a Greek adverb used in the New Testament to indicate a sequence or order of events. It is often translated as "then" or "afterwards" in English. This word is employed to show progression in time or logical sequence, and it is found in various contexts, including narratives, teachings, and logical arguments.

In the New Testament, ἔπειτα appears in several key passages:

- 1 Corinthians 15:5-7 (BSB): "and that He appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles." Here, ἔπειτα is used to describe the sequence of Christ's post-resurrection appearances.

- Galatians 1:18-19 (BSB): "Three years later I went up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother." In this passage, ἔπειτα indicates the time sequence of Paul's visit to Jerusalem.

- Hebrews 12:9 (BSB): "Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of spirits and live?" Here, ἔπειτα is used to draw a logical conclusion from the preceding argument.

The use of ἔπειτα in these passages highlights its role in structuring narratives and arguments, providing clarity and order to the sequence of events or thoughts.
