<div> '''1: ἤ ''' (Strong'S #2228 particle e ay ) </div> <p> is a disjunctive particle. One of its uses is to distinguish things which exclude each other, or one of which can take the place of another. It is translated "either" in Matthew 6:24; 12:33; Luke 16:13; Acts 17:21; 1 Corinthians 14:6 . The [[Rv]] rightly omits it in Luke 6:42 , and translates it by "or" in Luke 15:8; Philippians 3:12; James 3:12 . </p> John 19:18 Revelation 22:2Hence. | |||
