It is employed in the New Testament to emphasize the impossibility or non-occurrence of an event or action. This term underscores the certainty that something has not happened and will not happen.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "οὐδέποτε" is used to convey strong negation, often in theological or moral discussions. The use of this word reflects the Jewish and early Christian emphasis on the certainty and authority of divine truths and moral teachings. In the Greco-Roman world, where rhetoric and precise language were highly valued, such strong negations would have been understood as definitive and authoritative statements.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3761.htm">oude</a> and <a href="/greek/4218.htm">pote</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>never<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ever (1), never (14), nothing (1), nothing...ever (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 3763: οὐδέποτε</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οὐδέποτε</span></span>, adverb, denying absolutely and objectively (from <span class="greek2">οὐδέ</span> and <span class="greek2">πότε</span>, properly, <span class="accented">not ever</span>) (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">never</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-23.htm">Matthew 7:23</a>;
