It is used to introduce temporal clauses, indicating the timing of an event in relation to another.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, understanding the timing of events was crucial for the early Christian communities. The use of temporal conjunctions like ἡνίκα helped convey the sequence and timing of events, which was important for both historical narrative and theological teaching. The Greek language, with its precise vocabulary for time, allowed the biblical authors to communicate complex ideas about God's intervention in history and the fulfillment of prophecy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>at which time<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>whenever* (2).<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 2259: ἡνίκα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡνίκα</span></span>, a relative adverb of time (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">at which time; when</span>: followed by the present indicative, of a thing that actually takes place, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/3-15.htm">2 Corinthians 3:15</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; followed by <span class="greek2">ἄν</span> with subjunctive present, <span class="accented">whensoever</span>: ibid. <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; followed by <span class="greek2">ἄν</span> and the aorist subjunctive with the force of the Latin future perfect, <span class="accented">at length when</span> (whensoever it shall have etc.): <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/3-16.htm">2 Corinthians 3:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/1-10.htm">Exodus 1:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/7-12.htm">Deuteronomy 7:12</a>; Judith 14:2.
