Louw & Nida: POLUTROPWS PALAI HO QEOS LALHSAS TOIS PATRASIN

58.28 PAS, PASA, PAN: a totality of kinds or sorts - 'every kind of, all
sorts of.' PASAN NOSON KAI PASAN MALAKIAN 'every kind of disease or
weakness' Mt 4:23; PAN hAMARTHMA 'every kind of sin' 1Cor 6:18.

58.29 POLUTROPWS: pertaining to that which occurs in many kinds of ways -
'in many ways.' POLUTROPWS PALAI HO QEOS LALHSAS TOIS PATRASIN 'in many
ways God spoke in earlier times to the ancestors' He 1:1. For another
interpretation of POLUTROPWS in He 1:1, see 89.82.

Or there's the adjective PANTOIOS/A/ON which means "of all sorts"--but it
doesn't appear in the GNT.
