It serves to acknowledge a fact or situation while presenting an opposing or unexpected perspective. In the New Testament, it is often used to highlight a contrast between human understanding and divine truth or between appearances and reality.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "καίτοι" reflects the rhetorical style of the time, where conjunctions were used to create emphasis and contrast in discourse. The use of such conjunctions was common in Greek literature and speech, serving to engage the audience and underscore important points. In the biblical context, it often underscores the tension between human limitations and God's sovereignty.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2543</b> <i>kaítoi</i> (a compound particle from <a href="/greek/2532.htm">2532</a> <i>/kaí</i>, "and, even" and <a href="/greek/5104.htm">5104</a> <i>/toí</i>, "indeed") – <i>even yet</i>, <i>though indeed</i>. <a href="/greek/2543.htm">2543</a> (<i>kaítoi</i>) focuses on the <i>first</i> part of a comparison. </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2532.htm">kai</a> and <a href="/greek/5104.htm">toi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>and yet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>although (1), yet (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2543: καίτοι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καίτοι</span></span> (from <span class="greek2">καί</span> and <span class="greek2">τοι</span>), conjunction, with a participle (but in classical Greek with a finite verb also (as in Acts below); <span class="abbreviation">Krüger</span>, § 56, 13, 2; cf. references under the word <span class="greek2">καίπερ</span>), <span class="accented">and yet, although</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/4-3.htm">Hebrews 4:3</a> (although the work of creation had been finished long ago, so that the rest spoken of cannot be understood to be that of God himself resting from that work (cf.
