Every, Everyone, Everything

signifies (1) with nouns without the article, (a) "every one" of the class denoted by the noun connected with pas, e.g., Matthew 3:10 , "every tree;" Mark 9:49 , "every sacrifice;" see also John 2:10; Acts 2:43; Romans 2:9; Ephesians 1:21; 3:15; 2—Thessalonians 2:4; 2—Timothy 3:16 , RV; (b) "any and every, of every kind, all manner of," e.g., Matthew 4:23; "especially with nouns denoting virtues or vices, emotions, condition, indicating every mode in which a quality manifests itself; or any object to which the idea conveyed by the noun belongs" (Grimm-Thayer). This is often translated "all," e.g., Acts 27:20; Romans 15:14; 2—Corinthians 10:6; Ephesians 4:19,31; Colossians 4:12 , "all the will of God," i.e., everything God wills; (2) without a noun, "every one, everything, every man" (i.e., person), e.g., Luke 16:16; or with a negative, "not everyone," e.g., Mark 9:49; with a participle and the article, equivalent to a relative clause, everyone who, e.g., 1—Corinthians 9:25; Galatians 3:10,13; 1—John 2:29; 3:3,4,6,10,15 , rendered "whosoever." So in the neuter, 1—John 2:16; 5:4 , often rendered "whatsoever;" governed by the preposition en, "in," without a noun following, it signifies "in every matter, or condition," Philippians 4:6; 1—Thessalonians 5:18; "in every way or particular," 2—Corinthians 4:8 , translated "on every side;" so 2—Corinthians 7:5; "in everything," Ephesians 5:24; Philippians 4:12 , lit., "in everything and (perhaps "even") in all things." See THOROUGHLY , WHOLE.

a strengthened form of No. 1, signifies "all, the whole, altogether;" it is translated "every one" in Acts 5:16 , where it occurs in the plural. In Mark 8:25 , the AV, "every man" translates the text with the masculine plural; the best mss. have the neuter plural, RV, "all things." See ALL , WHOLE.

see EACH , NO. 1. It is used with heis, "one," in Acts 2:6 , "every man," and in Ephesians 4:16 , "each several (part)," for AV, "every (part)." In Revelation 22:2 the most authentic mss. omit the numeral in the phrase "every month." It is preceded by kath hena (kata, "according to," hena, "one"), a strengthened phrase, in Ephesians 5:33 , AV, "everyone ... in particular," RV, "severally, each one." The same kind of phrase with ana, "each," before the numeral, is used in Revelation 21:21 , RV, "each one of the several (gates)," for AV, "every several (gate)." See EACH , PARTICULAR, SEVERAL.
