πάλιν, adv.,fr. Hom. down; 1. anew, again, [but the primary meaning seems to be back; cf. (among others) Ellendt, Lex. Soph. 8. v. ii. p. 485]; a. joined to verbs of all sorts, it denotes renewal or repetition of the action: Mt. ἵν. 8; xx.5; xxi. 36; xxii.1,4; Mk. ii. 13; iii. 20; Lk. xxiii. 20; Jn. i. 35; iv. 13 ; viii. 2, 8, 12, 21; ix. 15,17; x.19; Acts xvii. 32; xxvii. 28; Ro. xi. 23; 1 Co. vii. 5; 2Co. xi.16; Gal.i.9; 11.18; iv. 19; 2 Pet. ii. 20; Phil. ii. 28; iv.4; Heb.i. 6 (where πάλιν is tacitly opposed to the time when God first brought his Son into the world, i. e. to the time of Jesus’ former life on earth) ; Heb. v.12; vi.1,6; Jas. v.18; Rev. x. 8, 11; πάλιν μικρόν se. ἔσται, Jn. xvi. 16 sq. 19; εἰς τὸ πάλιν, again (cf. Germ. zum wiederholten Male; [see eis, A. II. 2 fin.]), 2 Co. xiii. 2; with verbs of going, coming, departing, returning, where again combines with the notion of back ; thus with ἄγωμεν, Jn. xi. 7; ἀναχωρεῖν, Jn. vi. 15 [where Tdf. φεύγει and Grsb. om. πάλιν], (cf. ib. 3) ; ἀπέρχεσθαι, Jn. iv. 3; x. 40; xx. 10; εἰσέρχεσθαι, Mk. ii. 1; 1.1; Jn. xviii. 33; xix. 9; ἐξέρχεσθαι, Mk. vii. 31; ἔρχεσθαι, Jn. iv. 46; xiv. 3; 2Co.i. 16; xii. 21 [ef.

W. 604 (562)]: πάλιν ἐκ τρίτου, Mt. xxvi. 44 [L Trmrg. br. ἐκ tp.]; ἐκ δευτέρου, Mt. xxvi. 42; Acts x. 15; πάλιν δεύτερον, Jn. iv. 54; xxi. 16; πάλιν ἄνωθεν, again, anew, [R. V. back again (yet ef.

W. u.s.). 2. again, i.e. further, moreover, (where the subject remains the same anda repetition of the action or condition is indicated): Mt. ν. 33 (πάλιν ἠκούσατε) ; xiii. 44 (where T Tr WH om. L br. πάλιν), 45, 47; xix. TAVOLKL 24; Lk. xiii. 20; Jn. x. 7 [not Tdf.]; esp. where to O.

Tr br.; 1 Co. xii. 21; 2 Co. x.7; 1 Jn. ii. 8, (Sap. xiii. 8 ; xvi. 23; 2 Mace. xv. 39; see exx. fr. prof. auth. in Papes. v. 2; Passow s.v. 3; [Ellendt u. s. (ad init.); L. and S. s. v. III. ; but many (e.g. Fritzsche and Meyer on Mt. iv. 7) refuse to recognize this sense in the N. 1.1). John uses πάλιν in his Gospel far more freq. than the other N. T. writ., in his Epp. but once; Luke two or three times; the author of the Rev. twice.

in turn, on the other hand (Soph.; LXX: Wi 13:8 16:23, al.): Lk 6:43, I Co 12:21, II Co 10:7, I Jo 2:8.

πάλιν, an adverbial acc. like δίκην, μάτην, χάριν, originally meaning ‘‘back,’’ return to a previous position, in later Greek came to be used rather in the sense of ‘‘ again,” repetition of a previous action. Exx. are P Tebt I. 58°? (B.C. 111) πάλιν προσεντέλλομαί σοι προσεδρεῦσαι, “1 again bid you be in attendance”’ (Edd.), P Fay 122! (¢. A.D. 100) ἕως ἀπολαβὼν τὸ λοιπὸν THs τιμ[ἢ]ς πάλιν σοι γράψω, “until I get the remainder of the price and write to you again” (Edd.), PSI IV. 299! (ili/A.D. εὔχομαι τ]ῷ θεῷ ἕως οὗ ἄν pe πάλιν πρὸς ὑμᾶς εὐοδώσῃ, “1 pray God until he again gives me a prosperous return to you,” P Oxy παλινγενεσία 4 XII. 1490° (late iii/a.p.) εἰ οὖν πάλιν δύνῃ ἐκπλέξαι παρὰ σεαυτῷ, τύχῃ τῇ ἀγαθῇ, “if then you can again get him off by yourself (Ὁ), good luck to you” (Edd.), and P Gen I. 532° (iv/A.D.) ἐγὼ πάλιν σὸς δοῦλος εἰμεὶ καὶ οὐκ ἀποστατίσωμαί (= ἡσομαί) σου ὡς πρῶτον, ‘I am again thy slave, and shall not be absent from you as formerly.” For a wider use of πάλιν we may cite P Oxy IV. 7429 (B.c. 2) (= Witkowski®, p. 128) παράδος δέ τινι τῶν φίλων ἀριθμῶ αὐτάς͵ ἵνα πάλιν φ[ί)λος ἡμεῖν παραδοῖ ἀσφ[αλῶς, “deliver them (sc. bundles of reeds) carefully counted to one of our friends, that a friend may deliver them to me safely,” 7b. XIV. 1676*4 (iii/A.D.) χαίρω ὅτι Kah@[s] ἔχεις μέν, κἀγὼ δὲ πάλι (see below) καταξύομαι μὴ ὁρῶν σε, ““1 rejoice for your happiness, but still I am vexed at not seeing you” (Edd.), and 10. 1775° (iv/a.D.) οὐχ ὥκνησᾳ οὔτε πάλιν ἠμέλησα. To meet the difficulty of Mk 1513 where the fst outery of the mob is referred to, Souter (Lex. s.v.) suggests “an unsuitable mistranslation of an Aramaic word of much wider signification, further, thereupon” (cf. Wellhausen, Zzn/e:tung, p. 28f.). But for this secondary meaning of πάλιν it is not necessary to go back to Aramaic, as Moffatt has pointed out (xf. VIII. xx p. 141), in view of such a passage as P Oxy XIV. 1676°° (iii/A.D.) ἀλλὰ καὶ λυποῦμαι πάλιν ὅτι ἐκτός pov ε[ἷ, ‘still I am sorry you are not beside me.” Similarly in Gal 5° πάλιν is perhaps best rendered by “further,’’ the sequence being logical rather than temporal. For the byform πάλι, as in Jn 135 W, and in MGr, Mayser (Gr. p 241) can only cite from Ptolemaic times the fragment of an anthology, P Tebt I. 1 (c. B.c. 100), but it is common in post-Ptolemaic papyri and inscrr., e.g. P Flor IIT. 3348 (ii/A.D.) πάλι τῆι σῆι σφραγῖδι ἀσφαλῶς κλείσας σφράγισον τὸ δαπανηθὲν ἀνάλωμα εἰς τοὺς θησαυρούς, P Oxy I, 1107 (ii/ili A.D.) (= Selections, p. 103) οὔτε πάλι χαίρω σε Av(= οι)πόν, ““1 shall not greet you again henceforth,’’ and the early Christian letter P Amh I. 3 (a)ii-18 (between a.p. 264 and 282) εἰ δὲ εἰ. «. .] ἄρτοις (/. ἄρτους ἢ) πάλι πεπράσιν, ““but if they have again sold loaves.” Further exx. will be found in Crénert, Wem. Herc. p- 140 n°. It may be noted that the dictum ascribed to Phrynichus (ed. Lob. p. 284): πάλι: οὕτω λέγουσιν οἱ νῦν ῥήτορες Kal ποιηταί, δέον μετὰ τοῦ ν πάλιν, ὡς οἱ ἀρχαῖοι λέγουσιν, is set aside by Rutherford WP, p. 347 f.
