ἔτι, adverb, as yet, yet, still;

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primary particle of continuance.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H5750 עוֹד (od): A Hebrew adverb meaning "still," "yet," or "again," often used in similar contexts to denote continuation or persistence.
H518 אִם (im): A Hebrew particle that can imply "if," "whether," or "when," sometimes used in contexts that suggest continuation or conditional persistence.

These entries reflect the nuanced use of ἔτι in the New Testament, highlighting its role in conveying the continuity of actions, states, and divine truths.

Usage: The term ἔτι is used in various contexts within the New Testament to indicate the continuation of an action or state, often in contrast to a change or cessation. It can imply persistence in time, quantity, or degree.

Context: The adverb ἔτι appears frequently in the New Testament, serving as a versatile term that underscores the persistence or continuation of an action, state, or condition. It is often used in narrative and didactic passages to emphasize the ongoing nature of an event or situation.

For example, in Matthew 26:47, "While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived," ἔτι highlights the immediacy and continuity of the action as Judas arrives while Jesus is speaking. Similarly, in Romans 5:8, "But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us," ἔτι underscores the ongoing state of humanity's sinfulness at the time of Christ's sacrificial death.

The term is also used in rhetorical questions and statements to emphasize the persistence of a condition or the expectation of further action. In Hebrews 11:4, "By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead," ἔτι conveys the enduring testimony of Abel's faith.

Theologically, ἔτι can be seen as a marker of God's enduring grace and the persistent nature of faith, as well as the ongoing reality of human conditions that necessitate divine intervention.
