<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">My survey of the lexicons, classical and NT, indicates that the "never again" version of OUKETI is unsupported. It has its only advocate in the Arndt, Gingrich, etc. editions. <BR>

I did not check out all the BDAG examples, but what I looked at were unconvincing. In fact, I am suspicious of a theological motive behind the definition, especially in reference to Acts 20:25.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=4 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>

I'm not sure what you mean by "unsupported."&nbsp; <BR>
<BR>
Liddell-Scott has no more, no longer, no further, opp. to OUPW (not yet),<BR>
<BR>
Louw-Nida has 67.130&nbsp; OUKETI; MHKETI: the extension of time up to a point but not beyond - ‘no longer.’<BR>
<BR>
OUKETI: OUKETI EIMI ACIOS KLHUHNAI UIOS SOU&nbsp; ‘I am no longer fit to be called your son’ Lk 15.19.<BR>
<BR>
BDAG is the same.<BR>
<BR>
It is hardly a stretch to go from "no further (after this)" to "no longer."<BR>
