Usage: The word παρεκτός appears in the New Testament to indicate exceptions or exclusions in various contexts. It is used to clarify or specify conditions that are not included in a general statement.

Context: • Contextual Analysis: In the New Testament, παρεκτός is used to highlight exceptions to a rule or statement. It serves to narrow down or specify the scope of a declaration by excluding certain elements. This term is often employed in legal or moral discussions to delineate boundaries or conditions.
