Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πλήν, similar concepts of contrast or exception can be found in Hebrew conjunctions such as אֲבָל (abal, Strong's H61) meaning "but" or "however," and רַק (raq, Strong's H7535) meaning "only" or "except." These terms serve similar functions in Hebrew narrative and legal texts, providing contrast or introducing exceptions. Usage: In the New Testament, πλήν is used to denote a contrast or exception, often to highlight a significant point or to introduce a condition. It appears in various contexts, including narrative, teaching, and parables. Context: The Greek word πλήν is a versatile term used in the New Testament to convey contrast or exception. It often appears in the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the apostles to emphasize a point or to introduce a condition that qualifies a previous statement. For example, in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus uses πλήν to introduce a significant exception to a general rule: "But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment" (Matthew 5:22, BSB). Here, πλήν serves to contrast the traditional understanding of the law with the deeper, heart-focused interpretation that Jesus provides.
