μέντοι (
μέν,
τοι) (
Tr μέν τοι in
2 Timothy 2:19), a particle of affirmation, and hence, also often of opposition (on its various use in classical Greek cf. Devar., p. 124f and Klotz's comments, vol. ii. 2, pp. 60 and 663ff;
Herm. ad Vig., p. 840f),
but yet, nevertheless, howbeit:
John 4:27;
John 7:13;
John 20:5;
John 21:4;
2 Timothy 2:19;
Jude 1:8 (the connection of which verse with what precedes is as follows: 'although these examples were set forth as warnings, nevertheless' etc.);
ὅμως μέντοι, yet nevertheless,
John 12:42;
μέντοι, equivalent to
rather, James 2:8 (if ye do not have respect of persons, but rather observe the law of love, with which
προσωποληψία is incompatible; (
if however, howbeit if)).
