STRONGS G3843:
πάντως (from
πᾶς), adverb,
altogether (Latin
omnino), i. e.
a. in any and every way, by all means:
1 Corinthians 9:22 (so from
Herodotus down).
b. doubtless, surely, certainly:
Luke 4:23;
Acts 18:21 (
Rec.);
Acts 21:22;
28:4;
1 Corinthians 9:10 (Tobit 14:8;
Aelian v. h. 1, 32; by
Plato in answers (cf. our colloquial
by all means)). with the negative
οὐ,
α. where
οὐ is postpositive,
in no wise, not at all:
1 Corinthians 16:12 (often so as far back as
Homer).
β. when the negative precedes, the force of the adverb is restricted:
οὐ πάντως,
not entirely, not altogether, 1 Corinthians 5:10;
not in all things, not in all respects, Romans 3:9; (rarely equivalent to
πάντως οὐ, as in Ep. ad
Diogn. 9 [ET] 'God
οὐ πάντως ἐφηδόμενος τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασιν ἡμῶν.' Likewise,
οὐδέν πάντως in
Herodotus 5, 34. But in
Theognis, 305 edition, Bekker
οἱ κακοί οὐ πάντως κακοί ἐκ γαστρός γεγόνασι κτλ. is best translated
not wholly, not entirely. Cf.
Winers Grammar, 554f (515f);
Buttmann, 389f (334f) (on whose interpretation of Romans, the passage cited, although it is that now generally adopted, see Weiss in Meyer 6te Aufl.)).
