μόνος, -η, -ον,

[in LXX chiefly for לְבַד;]

adj., alone, solitary, forsaken: c. verb., Mt 14:23, Mk 6:47, Lk 9:36, al.; c. pron., Mt 18:15, Mk 9:2, al.; c. subst., Mk 9:8, Lk 4:8, al.; pleonast., οὐκ . . . εἰ μὴ μ., Mt 12:4, Lk 6:4, al.; attrib., only, (ὁ) μ. θεός, Jo 5:44 17:3, Ro 16:27, I Ti 1:17, Ju 25.

As adv., neut., μόνον, alone, only: referring to verb or predic., Mt 9:21, Mk 5:36, Ja 1:22, al. (v. Bl., §44, 2); οὐ (μὴ) μ., Ga 4:18, Ja 1:22; οὐ μ. . . . ἀλλά (Bl., § 77, 133), Ac 19:26, I Jo 5:6, al.; id. seq. καί (Bl., § 81, 12), Ro 5:3 9:10, II Co 8:19, al.;

κατὰ μόνας, alone (Bl., § 44, 1), Mk 4:10, Lk 9:18.

μόνος genitus), and is common in the LXX in this sense (e.g. | Judg 11", Ps 21 (22)*1, 24 (25)'*, Tob 315}. It is similarly used in the NT of ‘‘only” sons and daughters (Lk γ13, 3%, 9**), and is so applied in a special sense to Christ in Jn 1414, 3% 12, τ Jn 4°, where the emphasis is on the thought that, as the “ only ” Son of God, He has no equal and is able fully to reveal the Father. We cannot enter here into the doctrinal aspects of the word, or into a discussion on the sources, Orphic or Gnostic, from which John is sometimes supposed | to have drawn his use of it, but reference may be made to the art. by Kattenbusch ‘Only Begotten” in Hastings’ DCG ii. p. 281f. where the relative literature is given. A few exx. of the title from non-Biblical sources will, however, be of interest. In an imprecatory tablet from Carthage of iii/A.D., Witnsch AF p. 1857, we find—dpxitw σε τὸν θεὸν - + + τὸν μονογενῆ τὸν ἐξ αὑτοῦ ἀναφανέντα, where the | editor cites the great magical Paris papyrus, 1555 εἰσάκουσόν pou ὃ ds μονογενής. With this may be compared P Leid μοι [ἔλυσεν] τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα, τὸ μονογενές, τὸ ζωόν. See also Vett. Val p. 11. An inscr. in memory of a certain Plutarchus, Kazbe/ 1465 (iiifiv s.D.) describes him as μουνογενής πέρ ἐὼν καὶ πατέρεσσι φίλος. And the word is apparently used as a proper name in C. and B. i. p. 115, No. 17 (Hierapolis) Φλαβιανὸς 6 καὶ Movoyous εὐχαριστῶ τῇ θεῷ, where Ramsay thinks that we should probably read Movoyévns or ΜηνογένηΞ. For the true reading in Jn 11" it is hardly necessary to refer to Hort’s classical discussion in Two Dissertations, p. τ ff.
