νυνί (νῦν with iota demonstr. [Kriiger § 25, 6, 4 sq.; Kiihner § 180, 6. (Jelf § 160, e.); Bitm. Gram. § 80, 2]), in Attic now, at this very moment (precisely now, neither before nor after; Lat. nune ipsum), and only of Time, almost always with the pres., very rarely with the fut. (cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 19). Not found in the N. T. exc. in the writ. of Paul and in a few places in Acts and the Ep. to the Heb.; and it differs here in no respect from the simple viv; cf. Fritzsche, Rom. i. p. 182; [W. 23]; 1. of Time: witha pres. (Job xxx. 9), Acts xxiv.13 LT Tr WH; Ro. xv. 23, 25; 1 Co. xiii. 13 (ἄρτι ... τότε δὲ . -- νυνὶ δέ) ; 2 Co. viii. 11, 22; Philem. 9, 11 (se. ὄντα) ; with a perf. indicating continuance, Ro. iii. 21 [al. refer this to 2]; with a preterite (Ps. xvi.

Jer. 3); 2 Mace. x. 10; τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς νυνὶ ἀπολογίας, Acts xxii. 1. a contrary to Grk. usage, in stating a conclusion (see νῦν, 2), but since the case stands thus, [as it is]: 1 Co. [v.11 RGTLmrg.]; xiv. 6 RG (i. e. since ὁ γλώσσῃ λαλῶν without an interpretation cannot edify the church) ; but now (Germ. so aber), Heb. ix. 26 LT Tr WH; after a conditional statement with ei (see νῦν, fin.), Ro. vii. 17; 1 Co. xii. 18 [RGT WHmrg.]; xv. 20; Heb. viii. 6 {here L Tr mrg.
