βούλομαι, transliterated as boulomai, means to will, wish, or desire, and implies a deliberate intention stronger than θέλω (thelo). It is often used with an infinitive or an accusative and infinitive construction. The New Testament employs it in various contexts, such as in Mark 15:15 and Acts 5:28. Lexicons note its use in expressing choice or preference, but there is some discussion about the nuances between βούλομαι and similar verbs.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.
οὖν,

νέος (neos) means 'young' or 'new,' referring to both people and things. It is often used in the New Testament to describe youthfulness (Titus 2:4) and freshness (Matthew 9:17). The word can imply regeneration in a figurative sense. Some lexicons note a distinction between νέος and καινός in terms of their nuances, particularly regarding time versus quality.
Some have denied that any difference can in the N. T. be traced between these words. They derive a certain plausible support for this denial from the fact that manifestly νέος and καινός, both rendered ‘new’ in our Version, are often interchangeably used; thus νέος ἄνθρωπος (Col. iii. 10), and καινὸς ἄνθρωπος (Eph. ii. 15), in both cases “ the 1 Our English ‘ world,’ etymologically regarded, more nearly represents αἰών than κόσμος. The old ‘ weralt’ (in modern German ‘ welt’) is composed of two words, ‘wer,’ man, and ‘alt,’ age or generation. The ground-meaning, therefore, of ‘weralt’ is generation of men (Pott. Etym. Forsch. vol. ii, pt. i. p. 125). Out of this expression of time unfolds itself that of space, as αἰών passed into the meaning of κόσμος (Grimm, Deutsche Myth. p. 752); but in the earliest German records ‘ weralt’ is used, first as an expression of time, and only…

The blessing of offspring, but especially of the male sex, is highly valued among all eastern nations, while a the absence is regarded as one of the severest punishments. (Genesis 16:2; 7:14; 1 Samuel 1:6; 2 Samuel 6:23; 2 Kings 4:14; Isaiah 47:9; Jeremiah 20:15; Psalms 127:3,5) As soon as the child was born it was washed in a bath, rubbed with salt and wrapped in swaddling clothes. (Ezekiel 16:4; Job 38:9; Luke…
A numerous offspring was regarded as a signal blessing, Ps 127:3-5, and childless wives sought various means to escape the reproach of barrenness, which was deprecated in the blessing given to a newly married couple, Ru 4:11. The pangs of childbirth, in their suddenness and sharpness, are often alluded to in Scripture. The apostle Paul speaks of them as fruits and evidences of the fall; but assures those who abide in faith, that, amid all the suffering that reminds them that woman was first in the transgression, Ge 3:16, they may yet look trustfully to God for acceptance and salvation, 1Ti 2:15.

μηδείς is built from μή (not) and εἷς (one), meaning no one or nothing. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often to emphasize absence or negation, as seen in verses like Matthew 8:4 and Acts 4:17. The lexicons do not present significant disagreement on its usage.

No
Or No-A’mon, the home of Amon, the name of Thebes, the ancient capital of what is called the Middle Empire, in Upper or Southern Egypt. “The multitude of No” (Jer. 46:25) is more correctly rendered, as in the Revised Version, “Amon of No”, i.e., No, where Jupiter Amon had his temple. In Ezek. 30:14, 16 it is simply called “No;” but in ver. 15 the name has the Hebrew Hamon prefixed to it, “Hamon No.” This prefix is probably the name simply of the god usually styled Amon or Ammon. In Nah. 3:8 the “populous No” of the Authorized Version is in the Revised Version correctly rendered “No-Amon.”

The Greek word ἀφορμή (*aphormē*) is built from the components meaning 'from' and 'impulse.' It primarily refers to a starting point or base of operations, especially in a military context, but also extends to metaphorical uses such as an occasion or opportunity. The New Testament uses it in contexts like Romans 7:8, 11 and 2 Corinthians 11:12, where it denotes an incentive or occasion for action.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

The Greek word ἀντίκειμαι (*antikeimai*) means to lie opposite or to oppose. It is derived from roots meaning 'against' and 'to place.' This term is used in a figurative sense to indicate resistance or being adverse, appearing in several New Testament passages such as Luke 13:17 and Galatians 5:17. The lexicons generally agree on its meanings and applications.

Aristot. de caelo 1, 8 p. 277°, 23]). 2. to oppose, be adverse to, withstand: τινί, Lk. xiii. 17; xxi. 15; Gal. v.17; 1 Tim.i.10. simply (6) ἀντικείμενος, an adversary, [Tittmann ii. 9]: 1 Co. xvi. 9; Phil. i. 28; 2 Th. ii. 4; 1 Tim. v.14.

λοιδορία is a feminine noun meaning 'railing' or 'abuse,' derived from the verb λοιδορέω. It covers a range of verbal insults and reproaches, appearing in contexts such as 1 Timothy 5:14 and 1 Peter 3:9. The term is used in classical literature and the Septuagint, indicating its longstanding presence in Greek language.

The Greek word χάριν (i.e., *charin*) is the accusative form of χάρις and functions primarily as a preposition meaning 'on account of' or 'for the sake of.' It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke 7:47 and Galatians 3:19. The usage in classical Greek typically places it after the case it governs, a pattern followed in the New Testament except in 1 John 3:12.
χάριν, v.s. χάρις.
χάριν, ace. of the subst. χάρις used absol.; prop. in favor of, for the pleasure of : χάριν Ἕκτορος, Hom. Il. 15, 744, al.; 1 Mace. ix. 10; Judith viii. 19; like the Lat. abl. gratia, it takes on completely the nature of a preposition, and is joined to the gen., for, on account of, for the sake of: Gal. iii. 19 (on which see παράβασις) ; 1 Tim. v. 14; Tit.i.11; Jude 16; τούτου χάριν, on this account, for this cause, Eph. iii. 1 (Xen. mem. 1, 2, 54); τούτου χ. ἵνα, Eph. iii. 14 [ef. W. 566 (526)]; Tit. i. 5; οὗ χάριν, for which cause, Lk. vii. 47; χάριν τίνος ; for what cause? wherefore? 1 Jn. iii.12. Except in 1 Jn. iii. 12, χάρεν is everywhere in the N. T. placed after the gen., as it generally is in prof. auth. (cf. Passow s. v. 1. 3 a. p. 2416; Herm. ad Vig. p. 701); in the O. T. Apocr. it is placed sometimes before, sometimes after; οἵ.

In the LXX, on the other hand, it generally precedes, and similarly in the papyri, e.g. P Oxy IV. 74329 (B.C. 2) χάριν τῶν ἐκφορίων, ‘for the rents,” P Tebt 11. 4104(a.D. 16) χάριν οὗ παρορίζεται ὑπὸ γίτονος, ““on account of the encroachments being made on him by a neighbour’ (Edd.), P Oxy XII. 1583° (ii/a.p.) χάριν τοῦ [φαι]νόλου, and 26. VI. 934! (iii/A.D.) χάριν τῶν ποτισμῶν. In 26. XIV. τ683:.3 (late iv/a.p.) χάριν follows— onpl(= el)ov δὲ χάριν, ‘and in proof’’: and in 2d. VII. 1068 (iii/A.D.) it is found both before and after its case— 16 χάριν ἀναγκέας xplas, and *!Diplov χάριν, “for Simias’s sake.” See also the illiterate BGU III. 9484 (iv/v a.p.) εὔχομε τὸν παντοκράτορον θεὸν τὰ πε[ρὶ τ]ῆς ὑγίας σου καὶ ὁλοκληρίας σου χαίριν (/. χάριν)…
