μόνος, μόνη, μόνον, the Sept. chiefly for μΐαΗγ (from Homer down); 1. an adjective, alone (without a companion); a. with verbs: εἶναι, ἑυρίσκεσθαι, καταλείπεσθαι, etc., Mat_14:23; Mar_6:47; Luk_9:36; Joh_8:9; 1Th_3:1; added to the pronouns ἐγώ, αὐτός, οὐ, etc.: Mat_18:15; Mar_9:2; Luk_24:18; Rom_11:3; Rom_16:4, etc. b. it is joined with its noun to other verbs also, so that what is predicated may be declared to apply to some one person alone (cf. Winer's Grammar, 131 (124) note): Mat_4:10; Luk_4:8; Luk_24:12 (T omits; L Tr brackets WH reject the verse); Joh_6:22; Heb_9:7; 2Ti_4:11; with a neg. followed by ἀλλά, Mat_4:4. ὁ μόνος Θεός, he who alone is God: Joh_5:44; Joh_17:3; Rom_16:27; ὁ μόνος δεσπότης, Jud_1:4. οὐκ ... εἰ μή μόνος: Mat_12:4; Mat_17:8; Mat_24:36; Luk_6:4; οὐδείς ... εἰ μή μόνος, Php_4:15. equivalent to forsaken, destitute of help, Luk_10:40; Joh_8:16; Joh_16:32, (Wis_10:1). 2. Neuter μόνον as adverb, alone, only, merely: added to the object, Mat_5:47; Mat_10:42; Act_18:25; Gal_3:2; to the genitive Rom_3:29 (here WH marginal reading μόνων); referring to an action expressed by a verb, Mat_9:21; Mat_14:36; Mar_5:36; Luk_8:50; Act_8:16; 1Co_15:19; Gal_1:23; Gal_2:10. μόνον μή, Gal_5:13; οὐ (μή) μόνον, Gal_4:18; Jas_1:22; Jas_2:24; followed by ἀλλά, Act_19:26 (L ἀλλά καί; cf. Winers Grammar, 498 (464); Buttmann, 370 (317)); by ἀλλά πολλῷ μᾶλλον, Php_2:12; by ἀλλά καί, Mat_21:21; Joh_5:18; Joh_11:52; Joh_12:9; Joh_13:9; Joh_17:20; Act_19:26 (Lachmann (see as above, especially Buttmann)); ; Rom_1:32; Rom_4:12; Rom_4:16; Rom_4:23; 2Co_7:7, etc.; οὐ μόνον δέ ἀλλά καί: Act_19:27; and often by Paul (cf.
