Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὅλως [page 447] For ὅλως = entirely, altogether, cf. P Oxy IV. 743 .22 (B.C. 2) καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ ὅλος ( l. ὅλως ) διαπον [ο ]ῦμαι εἰ Ἕλενος χαλκοὺς ἀπόλε [σ ]εν , I am quite upset at Helenos loss of the money (Edd.), and for the meaning at all with a neg. verb, as in Mat_5:34 , cf. the letter of a wife to her husband, BGU IV. 1079 .6 (time of Claudius or Nero) περὶ δὲ Σαραπᾶτος τοῦ υἱου̣ͅ οὐ καταλέλυκε παρ᾽ ἐμὲ ὅλως , ἀλλὰ ἀπῆλ̣θεν εἰς παρεμβολὴν̣ στρατε̣υ̣σασ̣θ̣αι , but as regards our son Sarapas, he has not lodged with me at all, but has departed to the camp on military duty. The meaning of the adv. in 1Co_5:1 has caused difficulty, but a certain support is lent to the local sense everywhere, which Weiss in Meyer .9 ad l. prefers (cf. Bachmann in Zahn s Kommentar ), by P Oxy IV. 744 .4 (B.C. 1) (= Selections , p. 32) μὴ ἀγωνιᾷς ἐὰν ὅλως εἰσπορεύονται , ἐγὼ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρε <ί > ᾳ μένω , where ὅλως may perhaps imply all the writer s fellow-workmen. For the meaning actually, adopted by the Revisers in 1 Cor l.c. , we may cite ib. XIV. 1676 .31 (iii/A.D.) καλῶς οὖν ποιήσεις ἐλ [θοῦσ ]α τῷ Μεσορὴ πρὸς [ήμᾶ ]ς̣ ἵνα ὃλως ἴδωμέν σε , you will therefore do well to come to us in Mesore, in order that we may really see you (Edd.).
