Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek expression "τανῦν" or "τὰ νῦν," the concept of "now" or "present" can be found in various Hebrew words such as עַתָּה (Strong's Hebrew 6258), which also conveys the idea of the present time or moment.

Usage: This expression is used in the New Testament to emphasize the present time, often in contrast to past events or future expectations. It serves to highlight the immediacy or current relevance of a statement or situation.

Context: The Greek expression "τανῦν" or "τὰ νῦν" appears in the New Testament as a way to draw attention to the present moment. It is often used by the apostles and writers of the New Testament to emphasize the significance of the current time in God's redemptive plan. For example, in the context of salvation history, it may be used to contrast the former way of life under the law with the new life in Christ. The expression underscores the urgency and importance of responding to God's call in the present.

In the Berean Standard Bible, this expression is translated to convey the immediacy of the message being delivered. For instance, in Romans 3:21, the apostle Paul uses a similar expression to highlight the present revelation of God's righteousness apart from the law: "But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets."

The use of "τανῦν" or "τὰ νῦν" serves as a rhetorical device to engage the audience, urging them to recognize the significance of the present time in the unfolding of God's purposes. It is a call to action, inviting believers to live in the light of the present reality of God's work in the world.
