* Note: Oudeis and medeis, "no one, no man," are related to one another in much the same way as indicated above under ouketi and meketi. Instances of oudeis are
Matthew 6:24;
9:16;
24:36 (RV, "no one");
John 1:18;
3:2,13,32;
14:6;
16:22 (RV, "no one");
2 Corinthians 7:2 (thrice);
Hebrews 12:14;
1 John 4:12;
Revelation 2:17 , RV, "no one;" so
Revelation 5:3,4;
19:12; in
Revelation 3:7,8;
15:8 (RV, "none"); in
Revelation 7:9;
14:3 , "no man." In all these cases "man" stands for "person." The spelling outheis occurs occasionally in the mss.; Westcott and Hort adopt it in
2 Corinthians 11:8 , in the genitive case outhenos. Instances of medeis are
Matthew 8:4 (almost all those in the Synoptists are cases of prohibition or admonition);
Acts 9:7;
Romans 12:17;
1 Corinthians 3:18,21;
Galatians 6:17;
Ephesians 5:6;
Colossians 2:18;
1 Thessalonians 3:3;
1 Timothy 4:12;
Revelation 3:11 , RV, "no one." Notes: (1) In some mss. the negative me and the indefinite pronoun tis, "some one, anyone," appear as one word, metis (always separated in the best mss.), e.g.,
Matthew 8:28 , "no man;" so in
1 Corinthians 16:11;
2 Corinthians 11:16;
2 Thessalonians 2:3 . The words are separated also in
Matthew 24:4;
2 Corinthians 8:20 (RV, "any man," after "avoiding");
Revelation 13:17 . These instances represent either impossibility or prohibition (see under
NO LONGER , No. 2); contrast ouch (i.e., ou) ... tis in
Hebrews 5:4 , "no man (taketh)," where a direct negative statement is made. (2) In
2 Corinthians 11:10 the negative ou, "not," is translated "no man" (AV marg. "not"); in
1 Corinthians 4:6 , e.g., the negative me is translated "no one;" in
Romans 14:13 , the negative me, used in an admonition, is translated "no man."
