Strong's Lexicon nuni: now, at this time, at present Original Word: νυνί Word Origin: A strengthened form of the Greek word νῦν (nun), meaning "now." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to "nuni," the concept of "now" or "present time" can be found in Hebrew words like עַתָּה (attah, Strong's H6258), which also denotes the present moment. Usage: The adverb "nuni" is used in the New Testament to emphasize the present moment or current situation. It often contrasts the present with the past or future, highlighting a change or a new state of affairs. It can also be used to draw attention to the significance of the current time in God's redemptive plan. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, time was often viewed in terms of significant moments or epochs. The use of "nuni" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, marking the present as a pivotal point in the unfolding of God's purposes. The early Christians lived with a strong sense of the "now" of salvation history, believing that the coming of Christ had inaugurated a new era. HELPS Word-studies 3570 nyní (an emphatic adverb) – a strengthened form of "now" (3568 /nýn) which means "precisely now." 3570 (nyní) is an emphatic "now" that means, "Now as it was definitely not like this before, or after" (J. Thayer). Example: Col 3:8: "But now (3570 /nyní) you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth" (NASU). 3570 (nyni) shows the new lifestyle of the believer strongly set off from what was before, i.e. from their old ways which are entirely out of place in the life of the Spirit-empowered Christian.
