<div> '''1: | <div> '''1: '''''Μή''''' ''' (Strong'S #3361 — particle — me — may ) </div> <p> a negative particle, often used as a conjunction, is frequently translated "lest," e.g., Mark 13:36 (in ver. 5, RV, "that no," for AV, "lest"); Acts 13:40; 23:10 . </p> <div> '''2: '''''Ἵνα Μή''''' ''' (Strong'S #3363 — Conjunction — hina me — hin'-ah <i> may </i> ) </div> <p> "in order that not," is rendered "lest," e.g., in Matthew 17:27; in some instances the RV renders the phrase "that ... not," e.g., Luke 8:12 , or "that ... no," 1—Corinthians 9:12 (AV, "lest"). </p> <div> '''3: '''''Μήποτε''''' ''' (Strong'S #3379 — Conjunction — mepote | me pote — may'-pot-eh, <i> may </i> <i> pot'-eh </i> ) </div> <p> denotes "lest ever, lest perhaps, lest at any time," e.g., Matthew 4:6; "lest haply," Matthew 7:6 , RV (AV, "lest"), and in Matthew 13:15 (AV, "lest at any time"); in Matthew 25:9 , RV, "peradventure" (AV, "lest"). The RV does not translate this simply by "lest," as in the AV; see further, e.g., in Matthew 27:64; Mark 14:2; Luke 12:58; the addition of pote requires the fuller rendering. </p> Luke 14:29 <div> '''4: '''''Μήπως''''' ''' (Strong'S #3381 — Conjunction — mepos | me pos — may'-poce, <i> may </i> <i> poce </i> ) </div> <p> used as a conjunction, denotes "lest somehow, lest haply, lest by any means," e.g., 2—Corinthians 2:7 , RV, "lest by any means" (AV, "lest perhaps"); so 2—Corinthians 12:20 (twice); Galatians 4:11 (AV, "lest"); in 1—Thessalonians 3:5 (AV, "lest by some means"). </p> <div> '''5: '''''Μή''''' ''' (Strong'S #3361 4225 — particle — mepou | me pou — may ) </div> <p> "lest perhaps," is used in Acts 27:29 , RV, "lest haply" (AV, "lest"). </p> 2—Corinthians 4:4 | ||

<p> | <p> LEST, con. That not for fear that. </p> <p> Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Genesis 3 . </p> <p> The phrase may be thus explained. Ye shall not touch it that separated or dismissed, ye die. That here refers to the preceding command or sentence that being removed or not observed, the fact being not so, ye will die. </p> <p> [[Sin]] no more, lest a worse thing come to thee. John 5 . </p> <p> Sin no more that fact not taking place, a worse thing will happen to thee. </p> | ||
