Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
a conjunction, when used of cause, meaning "since," "otherwise," "for then," "because;" in an ellipsis, "else," as in 1—Corinthians 7:14 , where the ellipsis would be "if the unbelieving husband were not sanctified in the wife, your children would be unclean;" cp. Romans 11:6,22; 1—Corinthians 5:10; Hebrews 9:26 . Sometimes it introduces a question, as in Romans 3:6; 1 . Cor. 14:16; 15:29; Hebrews 10:2 . It is translated "else" in 1—Corinthians 14:16 and in the RV in Hebrews 9:26; 10:2 , for AV, "for then."
