Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A strengthened form of νῦν (G3568) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "νυνί," the concept of "now" or "present time" can be found in Hebrew words such as עַתָּה (H6258) and נָא (H4994), which convey similar meanings of immediacy or present action. Usage: The word "νυνί" appears in the New Testament to underscore the current or immediate context of a statement or event. It is used to draw attention to the present time, often contrasting it with past or future events. Context: The Greek adverb "νυνί" is a strengthened form of "νῦν" and is used in the New Testament to emphasize the present moment with a sense of urgency or importance. It appears in several key passages, highlighting the transition from past to present or the significance of the current situation in the unfolding narrative of God's redemptive plan. In Romans 7:6, Paul uses "νυνί" to contrast the believer's former state under the law with their current freedom in the Spirit: "But now, by dying to what bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code" (BSB). Here, "νυνί" underscores the transformative change brought about by Christ's work. Similarly, in 1 Corinthians 13:13, Paul emphasizes the enduring nature of faith, hope, and love in the present age: "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love" (BSB). The use of "νυνί" highlights the ongoing relevance and supremacy of love in the believer's life. The adverb also appears in Philemon 1:9, where Paul appeals to Philemon on the basis of love, stating, "I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus" (BSB). Here, "νυνί" emphasizes Paul's current status and the immediacy of his appeal. Overall, "νυνί" serves as a linguistic tool to draw attention to the present implications of theological truths and ethical exhortations, reinforcing the immediacy and relevance of the gospel message in the life of the believer.
