It is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously. In the context of the Bible, "howbeit" serves as a transitional word that highlights a shift in thought or introduces an exception to a preceding statement. Biblical Occurrences: The term "howbeit" appears in several passages throughout the Bible, particularly in older translations such as the King James Version. In the Berean Standard Bible , the term is often rendered as "however" or "nevertheless," maintaining the original intent of the text while using more contemporary language. Examples in Scripture: 1. <a href="/john/16-7.htm">John 16:7</a> : "But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Howbeit, if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." · In this passage, Jesus explains to His disciples the necessity of His departure for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The use of "howbeit" underscores the importance of His leaving as a prerequisite for the arrival of the Advocate. 2. <a href="/1_corinthians/8-7.htm">1 Corinthians 8:7</a> : "However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food, they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled." · Here, Paul uses "howbeit" to acknowledge that not all believers possess the same understanding regarding food offered to idols, highlighting the need for sensitivity towards those with weaker consciences. 3. <a href="/2_kings/12-13.htm">2 Kings 12:13</a> : "However, there were not made for the house of the LORD basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, from the money that was brought into the house of the LORD." · The use of "howbeit" in this context indicates an exception to the general use of funds collected for the temple, pointing out specific items that were not made despite the contributions. Theological Significance: The use of "howbeit" in Scripture often marks a pivotal moment in the narrative or argument, drawing attention to a significant truth or divine principle. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the unfolding of His divine plan, even when circumstances appear contradictory or challenging to human understanding. Interpretation and Application: In studying passages that include "howbeit," readers are encouraged to consider the broader context and the specific contrast being highlighted. This can lead to a deeper understanding of the text and its application to the believer's life. Recognizing the nuances introduced by "howbeit" can enhance one's appreciation of the complexities and depth of biblical teaching. Conclusion: While "howbeit" is less commonly used in modern translations, its presence in the Bible underscores the importance of recognizing shifts in narrative or argumentation. By paying attention to these transitions, readers can gain insight into the divine wisdom and guidance offered throughout Scripture.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(conj.)
