Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
from oude, "not even," and pote, "at any time," is used in definite negative statements, e.g., Matthew 7:23; 1—Corinthians 13:8; Hebrews 10:1,11 , or questions, e.g., Matthew 21:16,42; in Luke 15:29 (1st part), RV, "never" (AV, "neither ... at any time"); AV and RV, "never" (2nd part).
virtually the same as No. 1, the negative me, however, conveying a less strong declarative negation, 2—Timothy 3:7 .
"not yet," is translated "never (man) yet" in John 19:41 ("man" representing the idiomatically used negative pronoun oudeis, "no one"); some mss. have it in Luke 23:53 , instead of oupo, "not yet."
Mark 14:21 John 7:15 John 4:14 8:51,52 10:28 11:26 13:8 Mark 3:29 2—Peter 1:10 John 6:35 Luke 19:30
King James Dictionary [2]
NEVER, adv.
1. Not ever not at any time at no time. It refers to the past or the future. This man was never at Calcutta he will never be there. 2. It has a particular use in the following sentences.
Ask me never so much dower and gift. Genesis 34 .
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. Psalms 58 .
A fear of battery-though never so well grounded, is no duress.
This is a genuine English use of never, found in our Saxon authors, and it ought to be retained. Ask me so much dower as never was done that is, dower to any extent. The practice of using ever in such phrases, is corrupt. It not only destroys the force but the propriety of the phrase.
3. In no degree not.
Whoever has a friend to guide him, may carry his eyes in another mans head and yet see never the worse.
4. It is used for not. He answered him never a word that is, not ever. This use is not common. 5. It is much used in composition as in never-ending, never-failing, never-dying, never-ceasing, never-fading but in all such compounds, never retains its true meaning.
Webster's Dictionary [3]
(1): ( adv.) In no degree; not in the least; not.
(2): ( adv.) Not ever; not at any time; at no time, whether past, present, or future.
