STRONGS NT 3570: νυνί

νυνί; (νῦν with iota demonstrative (Krüger, § 25, 6, 4f; Kühner, § 180, e. (Jelf, § 160, e.); Alexander Buttmann (1873) Gram. § 80, 2)), in Attic note, at this very moment (precisely now, neither before nor after; Latinnunc ipsum), and only of Time, almost always with the present, very rarely with the future (cf. Lob. ad Phryn., p. 19). Not found in the N. T. except in the writings of Paul and in a few places in Acts and the Epistle to the Hebrews; and it differs here in no respect from the simple νῦν; cf. Fritzsche, Romans, i., p. 182; (Winer's Grammar, 23);

1. of Time: with a present (Job 30:9), Acts 24:13 L T Tr WH; Romans 15:23, 25; 1 Corinthians 13:13 (ἄρτι ... τότε δέ ... νυνί δέ); 2 Corinthians 8:11, 22; Philemon 1:9, 11 (namely, ὄντα); with a perfect indicating continuance, Romans 3:21 (others refer this to 2); with a preterite (Psalm 16:11 ()), Romans 6:22 (opposed to τότε); Romans 7:6; Ephesians 2:13 (opposed to 1, τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ); Colossians 1:22 () (and Colossians 3:8; also Romans 11:30 WH marginal reading) (opposed to πότε); Colossians 1:26 (R G L marginal reading; cf. Winers Grammar, § 63 I. 2 b.; Buttmann, 382 (328)) (opposed to ἀπό τῶν αἰώνων); with a future, Job 7:21; Baruch 6:4 (Epistle Jeremiah 3); 2 Macc. 10:10; τῆς πρός ὑμᾶς νυνί ἀπολογίας, Acts 22:1.

2. contrary to Greek usage, in stating a conclusion (see νῦν, 2), but since the case stands thus (as it is): 1 Cor. ( R G T L marginal reading); R G (i. e. since ὁ γλώσσῃ λαλῶν without an interpretation cannot edify the church); but now (German so aber), Hebrews 9:26 L T Tr WH; after a conditional statement with εἰ (see νῦν, at the end), Romans 7:17; 1 Corinthians 12:18 (R G T WH marginal reading); ; Hebrews 8:6 (here L Tr marginal reading WH text νῦν), cf. ; Rec., cf. ; (Buttmann, § 151, 26).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A strengthened form of νῦν (G3568)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "νυνί," the concept of "now" or "present time" can be found in Hebrew words such as עַתָּה (H6258) and נָא (H4994), which convey similar meanings of immediacy or present action.

Usage: The word "νυνί" appears in the New Testament to underscore the current or immediate context of a statement or event. It is used to draw attention to the present time, often contrasting it with past or future events.

Context: The Greek adverb "νυνί" is a strengthened form of "νῦν" and is used in the New Testament to emphasize the present moment with a sense of urgency or importance. It appears in several key passages, highlighting the transition from past to present or the significance of the current situation in the unfolding narrative of God's redemptive plan.

In Romans 7:6, Paul uses "νυνί" to contrast the believer's former state under the law with their current freedom in the Spirit: "But now, by dying to what bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code" (BSB). Here, "νυνί" underscores the transformative change brought about by Christ's work.

Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 13:13, Paul emphasizes the enduring nature of faith, hope, and love in the present age: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love" (BSB). The use of "νυνί" highlights the ongoing relevance and supremacy of love in the believer's life.

The adverb also appears in Philemon 1:9, where Paul appeals to Philemon on the basis of love, stating, "I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus" (BSB). Here, "νυνί" emphasizes Paul's current status and the immediacy of his appeal.

Overall, "νυνί" serves as a linguistic tool to draw attention to the present implications of theological truths and ethical exhortations, reinforcing the immediacy and relevance of the gospel message in the life of the believer.
