λοιπόν

λοιπόν — loipón

λοιπός, λοιπή, λοιπόν (λείπω, λέλοιπα) (from Pindar and Herodotus down), the Sept. for יֶתֶר, נותָר, שְׁאָר, left; plural the remaining, the rest: with substantives, as οἱ λοιποί ἀπόστολοι, Act 2:37; 1Co 9:5; add, Mat 25:11; Rom 1:13; 2Co 12:13; Gal 2:13; Php 4:3; 2Pe 3:16; Rev 8:13; absolutely, the rest of any number or class under consideration: simply, Mat 22:6; Mat 27:49; Mar 16:13; Luk 24:10; Act 17:9; Act 27:44; with a description added: οἱ λοιποί οἱ etc., Act 28:9; 1Th 4:13; Rev 2:24; οἱ λοιποί πάντες, 2Co 13:2; Php 1:13; πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις Luk 24:9; with a genitive: οἱ λοιποί τῶν ἀνθρώπων, Rev 9:20; τοῦ σπέρματος, Rev 12:17; τῶν νεκρῶν, Rev 20:5; with a certain distinction and contrast, the rest, who are not of the specified class or number: Luk 8:10; Luk 18:9; Act 5:13; Rom 11:7; 1Co 7:12; 1Th 5:6; 1Ti 5:20; Rev 11:13; Rev 19:21; τά λοιπά, the rest, the things that remain: Mar 4:19; Luk 12:26; 1Co 11:34; Rev 3:2. Neuter singular adverbially, τό λοιπόν what remains (Latinquod supcrest), i. e.

a. hereafter, for the future, henceforth (often so in Greek writings from Pindar down): Mar 14:41 R T WH (but τό in brackets); Mat 26:45 (WH omits; Tr brackets τό); 1Co 7:29; Heb 10:13; and without the article, Mar 14:41 G L Tr (WH (but see above)); 2Ti 4:8; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 706. τοῦ λοιποῦ, henceforth, in the future, Eph 6:10 L T Tr WH; Gal 6:17; Herodotus 2, 109; Aristophanes pax 1084; Xenophon, Cyril 4,4, 10; oec. 10, 9; al; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 706; often also in full τοῦ λοιποῦ χρόνου. (Strictly, τό λοιπόν is 'for the future' τοῦ λοιποῦ, 'in (the) future'; τό λοιπόν may be used for τοῦ λοιποῦ, but not τοῦ λοιποῦ for τό λοιπόν; cf. Meyer and Ellicott on Galatians, as above; Buttmann, §§ 128, 2; 132, 26; Winers Grammar, 463(432).)

b. at last; already: Act 27:20 (so in later usage, see Passow or Liddell and Scott, under the word).

c. τό λοιπόν, dropping the notion of time, signifies for the rest, besides, moreover (A. V. often finally), forming a transition to other things, to which the attention of the hearer or reader is directed: Eph 6:10 R G; Php 3:1; Php 4:8; 1Th 4:1 Rec.; 2Th 3:1; ὁ δέ λοιπόν has the same force in 1Co 4:2 R G; λοιπόν in 1Co 1:16; 1Co 4:2 L T Tr WH; 1Th 4:1 G L T Tr WH.
