Used: 1. universally, a. in opposed to many; and α. added to nouns after the manner of an adjective: Mat_25:15 (opposed to πέντε δύο); Rom_5:12 (opposed to πάντες); Mat_20:13; Mat_27:15; Luk_17:34 (but L WH brackets); Act_28:13; 1Co_10:8; Jas_4:13 (R G), and often; παρά μίαν namely, πληγήν (Winers Grammar, 589 (548); Buttmann, 82 (72)), save one (Winer's Grammar, § 49, g.), 2Co_11:24; with the article, ὁ εἰς ἄνθρωπος, the one man, of whom I have spoken, Rom_5:15. β. substantively, with a partitive genitive to denote one, whichever it may be: μίαν τῶν ἐντολῶν, one commandment, whichever of the whole number it may be, Mat_5:19; add, Mat_6:29; Mat_18:6; Mar_9:42; Luk_12:27; Luk_17:2; Luk_17:22; or, that one is required to be singled out from a certain number: Luk_23:39; Joh_19:34, etc. followed by ἐκ with the genitive of a noun signifying a whole, to denote that one of (out of) a company did this or that: Mat_22:35; Mat_26:21; Mat_27:48; Mar_14:18; Luk_17:15; Joh_1:40 (); (T WH Tr marginal reading in brackets), (Tr omits ἐκ); (Rec. omits ἐκ); ; Rev_5:5; Rev_7:13; Rev_9:13; Rev_13:3 (Rec. omits ἐκ. γ. absolutely: Mat_23:8-10; Heb_2:11; Heb_11:12; and where it takes the place of a predicate, Gal_3:20 (cf. Winer's Grammar, 593 (551)), Gal_3:28 (ye that adhere to Christ make one person, just as the Lord himself); συνάγειν εἰς ἐν, to gather together into one, Joh_11:52; ποιεῖν τά ἀμφότερα ἐν, Eph_2:14; with the article, ὁ εἰς, the one, whom I have named, Rom_5:15; Rom_5:19. b. in opposed to a division into parts, and in ethical matters to dissensions: ἐν σῶμα πολλά μέλη, Rom_12:4; 1Co_12:12; 1Co_12:20; ἐν εἶναι, to be united most closely (in will, spirit), Joh_10:30; Joh_17:11; Joh_17:21-23; ἐν ἑνί πνεύματι, μία ψυχή, Php_1:27 cf.

Cicero, Lael. 25 (92)amicitiae vis est in eo, ut unus quasi animus fiat ex pluribus); ἀπό μιᾶς (see ἀπό, III., p. 59{b} ), Luk_14:18. c. with a negative following joined to the verb, εἰς ... οὐ or μή (one ... not, i. e.) no one, (more explicit and emphatic than οὐδείς): ἐν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ πεσεῖται, Mat_10:29; besides, Mat_5:18; Luk_11:46; Luk_12:6; this usage is not only Hebraistic (as that language has no particular word to express the notion of none), but also Greek (Aristophanes ecclesiastical 153: thesm. 549; Xenophon, an. 5, 6, 12; Dionysius Halicarnassus, verb. comp. 18, etc.), cf. Winers Grammar, 172 (163); (Buttmann, 121 (106)). 2. emphatically, so that others are excluded, and εἰς is the same as 2. a single (Latinunus equivalent tounicus); joined to nouns: Mat_21:24; Mar_8:14 (οὐκ ... εἰ μή ἕνα ἄρτον); Mar_12:6; Luk_12:52; Joh_11:50; Joh_7:21; 1Co_12:19; Eph_4:5, etc.; absolutely: 1Co_9:24; 2Co_5:14 (15); 1Ti_2:5; Jas_4:12, etc.; οὐδέ εἰς, not even one: Mat_27:14; Joh_1:3; Act_4:32; Rom_3:10; 1Co_6:5 (R G); οὐκ ἐστιν ἕως ἑνός (there is not so much as one), Rom_3:12 from Psa_13:3 (); cf. Latinomnes ad unum, all to a man. Neuter, ἐν, one thing, exclusive of the rest; one thing before all others: Mar_10:21; Luk_18:22; Luk_10:42 (but WH only text); Joh_9:25; Php_3:13 (); Jas_2:10. b. alone: οὐδείς ... εἰ μή εἰς ὁ Θεός, Mar_2:7 (for which in Luk_5:21 μόνος ὁ Θεός); Mar_10:18; Luk_18:19. c. one and the same (not at variance with, in accord with oneself): Rom_3:30; Rev_17:13; Rev_17:17 (L omits); ; τό ἐν φρονεῖν, Php_2:2 (WH marginal reading αὐτό); ἕν εἶναι are one, i. e. are of the same importance and esteem, 1Co_3:8; εἰς τό ἐν εἶναι (see εἰμί, V. 2 d.), 1Jn_5:8; more fully τό ἐν καί τό αὐτό. 1Co_12:11; ἐν καί τό αὐτό τίνι, 1Co_11:5. 3. the numerical force of εἰς is often so weakened that it hardly differs from the indefinite pronoun τίς, or from our indefinite article (Winers Grammar, 117 (111) (cf. 29 note 2; Buttmann, 85 (74))): Mat_8:19 εἰς γραμματεύς); ; Joh_6:9 (παιδάριον ἐν, where T Tr WH omit and L brackets ἐν); Rev_8:13; Rev_9:13 (Aristophanes av. 1292; Xenophon, mem. 3, 3, 12; Plato, de rep. 6, p. 494 d.; legg. 9, p. 855 d., etc.; especially later writings; (Tob_1:19 Tob_2:3; Tob_3:1-17 Esdr. 4:18 [LXX 1Es_4:18]; Gen_21:15; 2Sa_2:18; Jdt_14:6); so the Hebrew ΰΖηΘγ, Dan_8:3; Gen_22:13; 1Sa_1:2; 1Ki_21:13 (); see Gesenius, Lchrgeb., p. 655); εἰς τίς (Latinunus aliquis), a certain one; one, I know not who; one who need not be named: with a substantive, Mar_14:51 (L Tr WH omit εἰς); or followed by a genitive Mar_14:47 where L Tr omit; WH brackets τίς; followed by ἐκ, ἐξ, with the genitive: Luk_22:50; Joh_11:49 (ἕν τί τῶν ῤημάτων, Jdt_2:13, and often in Greek writings; cf. Wetstein on Mar_14:51; Matthiae, § 487). 4. it is used distributively (Winers Grammar, § 26, 2; especially Buttmann, 102 (90)); a. εἰς ... καί εἰς, one ... and one: Mat_17:4; Mat_20:21; Mat_24:40 L T Tr WH, ; ; Mar_4:8 (R G L WH marginal reading); Mar_4:20 (R G L Tr marginal reading WH marginal reading in brackets); ; Luk_9:33; Joh_20:12; Gal_4:22; (in Greek authors, εἰς μέν ... εἰς δέ, as Aristotle, eth. 6, 1 , 5 ; Xcn. Cyril 1, 2, 4); with the article prefixed, ὁ εἰς the one, Luk_24:18 R G; followed by ὁ εἰς, the one ... the other, Mat_24:40 R G; followed by ὁ ἕτερος, Mat_6:24; Luk_7:41; Luk_16:13{b} ; R WH; R G T WH marginal reading; Act_23:6; εἰς (without the article ... ὁ ἕτερος: Luk_16:13{c} ; G L T Tr; L Tr WH text; πέντε ... ὁ εἰς ... ὁ ἄλλος, Rev_17:10. b. εἰς ἕκαστος, everyone: Act_2:6; Act_20:31; Eph_4:16; Col_4:6; followed by a partitive genitive: Luk_4:40; Luk_16:5; Act_2:3; Act_17:27; Act_21:26; 1Co_12:18; Eph_4:7; 1Th_2:11; cf. Buttmann, 102f (89f); ἀνά εἰς ἕκαστος (see ἀνά, 2), Rev_21:21. c. a solecism, common in later Greek (cf. Lucian, solace. (Pseudosoph.) § 9; Winers Grammar, § 37, 3; Buttmann, 30f (26f); Fritzsche on Mark, p. 613f; (Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word καθεῖς)), is καθ' εἰς, and in combination καθεῖς (so that either κατά is used adverbially, or εἰς as indeclinablc): ὁ καθ' εἰς, equivalent to εἰς ἕκαστος, Rom_12:5 (where L T Tr WH τό καθ', as respects each one, severally; cf. what is said against this reading by Fritzsche, commentary, iii., p. 44f, and in its favor by Meyer); with a partitive genitive 3Macc. 5:84; εἰς καθ' (T WH Tr marginal reading κατά) εἰς, everyone, one by one, Mar_14:19; Joh_8:9; καθ' ἕνα, καθ' ἕν (as in Greek writings), of a series, one by one, successively: καθ' ἐν, all in succession, Joh_21:25 (not Tdf.); καθ' ἕνα πάντες, 1Co_14:31 (Xenophon, venat. 6, 14); καθ' ἕν ἕκαστον, Act_21:19 (Xenophon, Cyril 1, 6, 22 (27); Ages. 7, 1); ὑμεῖς οἱ καθ' ἕνα ἕκαστος, ye severally, every one, Eph_5:33. 5. like the Hebrew ΰΖηΘγ, εἰς is put for the ordinal πρῶτος, first (Winers Grammar, § 37, 1; Buttmann, 29 (26)): μία σαββάτων the first day of the week, Mat_28:1; Mar_16:2; Luk_24:1; Joh_20:1; Joh_20:19; Act_20:7; 1Co_16:2 (L T Tr WH μία σαββάτου); (in Greek writings so used only when joined with other ordinal numbers, as εἷς καί τριηκοστος, Herodotus 5, 89: Diodorus 16. 71.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

εἷς [page 187] P Oxy VIII. 1153 .14 (i/A.D.) καρποδέσμια μ̣ικτὰ δύο , ἓν μὲν σανδύκινον καὶ ἓν πορφυροῦν , two variegated (?) wristbands, one scarlet and one purple (Ed.). For εἷς as an ordinal see BGU II. 623 .4 (ii/iii A.D.) τῇ μιᾷ καὶ εἰκάιδι ( l. εἰκάδι ) τοῦ Ἐπίφ , and the full discussion of this vernacular Greek usage in Proleg. p. 95 f. In P Giss I. 19 .10 (ii/A.D.) τῆι ᾱ [ἡμέρᾳ ] τοῦ νέου ἔτους : does the ᾱ help the substitution of μιᾷ for πρώτῃ ? Εἷς with a partit. gen. may be illustrated from the iv/A.D. Christian letter P Heid 6 .18 (= Selections , p. 126) εἶς γὰρ ἰμεὶ ( l. εἰμὶ ) τῶν ἁμαρτουλον . The usage of εἷς = τις , as in Mat_8:19 , Luk_5:12 ; Luk_5:17 al. , is well established, without any necessity of postulating Semitic influence (as Blass Gr. p. 144, WSchm. p. 243), e.g. P Amh II. 30 .28 (ii/B.C.) Κονδύλου ἑνὸς τῶν ἁλιείων ( sc. προσκληθέντος ), BGU IV. 1044 .6 (iv/A.D.) ἑνὸς ( l. εἷς ) λεγόμενον̣ ( l. ος ) Φαῆσις : cf. Proleg. p. 97, where the use of ὁ εἶς in Mar_14:10 is also paralleled from early papyri, as P Par 15 .50 (B.C. 120) τὸν ἕνα αὐτῶν Ὧρον , 54 τοῦ ἑνὸς τῶν ἐγκαλουμένων Νεχουθοῦ , P Tebt II. 357 .10 (A.D. 197) τοῦ το [ῦ ] ἑνὸς αὐτῶν Κρονίω [ν ]ος πατρός . Add. ib. 1 138 (late ii/B.C.) ὁ εἷς τῶν προγεγραμμένων Ὀννῶφρις , P Oxy VII. 1032 .56 (A.D. 162) διὰ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἡμῶν Ἀμμωνίου ἐπιδεδώκαμεν . In P Oxy VI. 940 .6 (V/A.D.) τὸν δὲ Φοιβάμμωνα τὸν φροντιστὴν μεταστειλάμενος ἔχε ἐγγὺς σοῦ μίαν μίαν , we seem at first sight to have an instance of the distributive use of εἶς , but, as the editors point out in their note, the context shows clearly that μίαν μίαν is here = together. We may have a Semitism in the curious repetition εἷς καὶ εἷ [ς ] καὶ εἷς ἐν τόποις καὶ τόποις in P Amh I. 1 xii. 14 f. the Greek fragment of the Ascension of Isaiah. With Joh_11:52 cf. P Oxy XII. 1411 .3 (A.D. 260) τῶν δημοσίων εἰς ἓν συναχθέντων . For the phrase τὸ καθ᾽ ἕν , cf. P Lille I. 11 .8 (mid. iii/B.C.) where certain particulars regarding grain used by pastophori are headed ἔστιν δὲ τὸ καθ᾽ ἕν , this is the list in detail, and similarly P Ryl II. 65 .9 (B.C. 67?) ὧν τὸ καθ᾽ ἓν ἐπὶ τῆς [ἐ ]σομένης [διεξα ]γωγῆς σημανθήσεται , the details of which will appear in the forthcoming inquiry (Edd.), ib. 127 .15 (A.D. 29) ἤροσαν τῶν ἐμῶν ὧν τὸ καθ᾽ ἓν ὑπόκειται , they carried off property of mine of which a list is appended (Edd.). In ib. 233 .10 (ii/A.D.) ὑφ᾽ ἓν γεγραμμένον = written continuously of an account. We may also note P Amh II. 87 .21 (A.D. 125) ἐποίσεις μοι μέτρησιν μίαν Ἀθηναίῳ ἀντὶ μιᾶς δοχικῷ with reference to the measurement of artabae of wheat, the meaning of the phrase apparently being that half the artabae were to be on the standard of Athens and half on the δοχικόν standard : see the editors note, and cf. P Oxy IV. 740 .17 ( c. A.D. 200), P Strass I. 26 .13 (iii/A.D.) al. Amongst the inscrr. in the Graeco-Roman Museum at Alexandria one, Preisigke 2685, bears the words Εἷς θεός . See also P Leid W vi. 46 (ii/iii A.D.) αὐθέντα ἥλιε , ὁ ὑπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸν ἕνα καὶ μόνον τεταγμένος . MGr has ἕνας , μιά , ἕνα (ν ).
