Strong's Lexicon oudepote: Never Original Word: οὐδέποτε Word Origin: From οὐδέ (oude, meaning "not even" or "neither") and ποτέ (pote, meaning "at any time" or "ever") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "οὐδέποτε," the concept of "never" can be found in Hebrew words like לֹא (lo, meaning "no" or "not") and עוֹלָם (olam, meaning "forever" or "eternity"), which can be used in contexts to imply "never" in certain constructions. Usage: The Greek adverb "οὐδέποτε" (oudepote) is used to express an absolute negation, meaning "never" or "not ever." It is employed in the New Testament to emphasize the impossibility or non-occurrence of an event or action. This term underscores the certainty that something has not happened and will not happen. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "οὐδέποτε" is used to convey strong negation, often in theological or moral discussions. The use of this word reflects the Jewish and early Christian emphasis on the certainty and authority of divine truths and moral teachings. In the Greco-Roman world, where rhetoric and precise language were highly valued, such strong negations would have been understood as definitive and authoritative statements.
