Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the combination of μή (mē, "not") and ἔτι (eti, "yet" or "still"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μηκέτι, similar concepts of cessation or discontinuation can be found in Hebrew words like עוֹד (od, "again" or "still") when negated, or חָדַל (chadal, "to cease" or "to stop"). These terms convey the idea of stopping or no longer continuing an action, akin to the Greek μηκέτι. Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to express the end of a particular condition or action, often in moral or spiritual contexts. It emphasizes the discontinuation of a previous state or behavior. Context: The Greek adverb μηκέτι (mēketi) appears in various New Testament passages to convey the idea of stopping or ceasing an action or state. It is often used in exhortations or commands, urging believers to abandon former ways of living or thinking that are inconsistent with their new life in Christ. For example, in Romans 6:6, the Apostle Paul writes, "We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin." Here, μηκέτι is used to emphasize the believer's break from the bondage of sin due to their union with Christ. In Ephesians 4:14, Paul encourages maturity in faith, stating, "Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming." The use of μηκέτι underscores the call to spiritual growth and stability. The term also appears in contexts of practical living, as seen in 1 Peter 4:2, "As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for human desires, but for the will of God." Here, μηκέτι highlights the transformation in priorities and lifestyle expected of believers. Overall, μηκέτι serves as a powerful linguistic tool in the New Testament, urging a definitive break from past behaviors and a commitment to a new way of life in accordance with the teachings of Christ.
