((Homer, Hesiod, Herodotus, others)) Topical Lexicon Overview Strong’s Greek 3765 (οὐκέτι) denotes the decisive end of a previous situation—“no longer,” “no more,” “no further.” Across the New Testament it marks turning-points in redemptive history, personal transformation, and eschatological finality. Old Testament and Second-Temple Echoes While οὐκέτι is rare in the Septuagint, the concept of God terminating one order to inaugurate another permeates prophetic promise: the end of exile (Isaiah 52:1), the cessation of sacrifice (Daniel 9:27), and the dawning of a new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). The New Testament writers pick up this thread to announce that, in Christ, former realities give way to something better. Usage in the Synoptic Gospels 1. Marriage permanence (Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:8). “So they are no longer two, but one flesh.” The verb crystallizes the irrevocable union God ordains. Acts: Mission and Farewell Acts 8:39 records Philip being “no longer” seen by the Ethiopian, highlighting Spirit-directed evangelism. Paul’s tearful goodbye to the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:25, 20:38) proves the gospel often demands relinquishing familiar comforts for the sake of wider witness. Johannine Literature John concentrates οὐκέτι around sight and relationship. Pauline Epistles: New Creation Realities 1. Freedom from sin and death (Romans 6:9, 6:9 double emphasis). “Death no longer has dominion over Him,” and, by union with Christ, over believers. Hebrews and the General Epistles Hebrews 10:18 insists that where sins are forgiven “there is no longer any offering for sin.” The once-for-all sacrifice of Christ finalizes atonement and renders repetitive rituals obsolete, warning (10:26) that persisting in sin leaves “no longer any sacrifice” to appeal to. Apocalyptic Fulfillment in Revelation Revelation intensifies the term to absolute finality: Shared Theological Themes • Transition from Old to New Covenant. Pastoral and Practical Implications 1. Assurance. Believers rest in realities that will never revert—justification, adoption, victory over death. Summary Oὐκέτι signals the gospel’s decisive breaks: from two to one, from death to life, from law to grace, from earth to consummated kingdom. Each occurrence invites faith to embrace what, in God’s redemptive plan, will never be reversed.
