Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4455: πώποτεπώποτε, adverb, ever, at any time: Luke 19:30; John 1:18; John 5:37; John 6:35; John 8:33; 1 John 4:12. ((From Homer down.)) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the combination of two Greek particles: πώ (pō) meaning "ever" and ποτε (pote) meaning "at some time" or "once."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πώποτε, similar concepts of negation or the idea of "never" can be found in Hebrew words such as לֹא (lo, Strong's H3808) meaning "not" or "no," and עוֹלָם (olam, Strong's H5769) when used in contexts implying "never" or "eternity" in a negative sense. These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to convey the idea of something that has never happened or will never happen. Usage: This word is typically used in the New Testament to emphasize the negation of an event or action having ever occurred. It is often found in rhetorical questions or statements to stress the impossibility or non-occurrence of something. Context: The Greek adverb πώποτε appears in the New Testament to underscore the absence of an event or action in the past. It is used to convey a strong sense of negation, often in the context of a rhetorical question or emphatic statement. For example, in John 1:18, the phrase "No one has ever seen God" uses πώποτε to emphasize the absolute nature of the statement. The use of πώποτε in the New Testament serves to highlight the uniqueness or unprecedented nature of certain events or revelations, often pointing to the divine or miraculous. Its usage is relatively rare, which adds to its emphatic nature when it does appear.
