ἄρτι, adverb, according to its derivation (from ἈΡΩ to draw close together, to join, Latinarto; (cf. Curtius, § 488)) denoting time closely connected; 1. in Attic "just now, this moment (German gerade,eben), marking something begun or finished even now, just before the time in which we are speaking" (Lobeck ad Phryn., p. 20): Mat_9:18; 1Th_3:6, and perhaps Rev_12:10. 2. according to later Greek usage universally, now, at this time; opposed to past time: Joh_9:19; Joh_9:25; Joh_13:33; 1Co_16:7; Gal_1:9 f, opposed to future time: Joh_13:37; Joh_16:12; Joh_16:31; 2Th_2:7; opposed to future time subsequent to the return of Christ: 1Co_13:12; 1Pe_1:6; 1Pe_1:8. of present time most closely limited, at this very time, this moment: Mat_3:15; Mat_26:53; Joh_13:7; Gal_4:20. ἄχρι τῆς ἄρτι ὥρας, 1Co_4:11; ἕως ἄρτι, hitherto; until now, up to this time: Mat_11:12; Joh_2:10; Joh_5:17; Joh_16:24; 1Co_4:13; 1Co_8:7; 1Co_15:6; 1Jn_2:9. ἀπ' ἄρτι, see ἀπαρτί above. Cf. Lobeck ad Phryn., p. 18ff; (Rutherford, New Phryn., p. 70f). [SYNONYMS: ἄρτι, ἤδη, νῦν: Roughly speaking, it may be said that ἄρτι just now, even now, properly marks time closely connected with the present; later, strictly present time (see above, and compare in English just now i. e. a moment ago, and just now (emphatic) i. e. at this precise time). νῦν now, marks a definite point (or period) of time, the (object) immediate present. ἤδη now (already) with a suggested reference to some other time or to some expectation, the subjective present (i. e. so regarded by the writer). ἤδη and ἄρτι are associated in 2Th_2:7; νῦν, and ἤδη in 1Jn_4:3. See Küfhner §§ 498, 499; Bäumlein, Partikeln, p. 138ff; Ellicott on 1Th_3:6; 2Ti_4:6.]
