advb. | εὐθύς

67.53 · Time · A Point of Time with Reference to Other Points of Time: Before, Long Ago, Now, At the Same Time, When, About, After

immediately, right away, then a point of time immediately subsequent to a previous point of time (the actual interval of time differs appreciably, depending upon the nature of the events and the manner in which the sequence is interpreted by the writer) It is impossible to determine from the context whether εὐθέως in 3JN 1:14 should be understood as referring to a very short lapse of time and therefore be rendered as ‘very soon,’ or whether it refers to the very next event which is relevant to the total context.
