Strong's Lexicon kaitoi: although, though Original Word: καίτοι Word Origin: From καί (kai, meaning "and" or "also") and τοι (toi, an emphatic particle) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "καίτοι," similar contrasting conjunctions in Hebrew might include "אַךְ" (akh, meaning "but" or "however") and "וְאַף" (ve'af, meaning "and also" or "even though"). Usage: The Greek conjunction "καίτοι" (kaitoi) is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with what has been previously mentioned. It serves to acknowledge a fact or situation while presenting an opposing or unexpected perspective. In the New Testament, it is often used to highlight a contrast between human understanding and divine truth or between appearances and reality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "καίτοι" reflects the rhetorical style of the time, where conjunctions were used to create emphasis and contrast in discourse. The use of such conjunctions was common in Greek literature and speech, serving to engage the audience and underscore important points. In the biblical context, it often underscores the tension between human limitations and God's sovereignty.
