Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "loipon," the concept of "remaining" or "rest" can be related to Hebrew words like שְׁאָר (she'ar, Strong's H7611) meaning "remnant" or "rest."

Usage: The Greek word "loipon" is used to denote what remains or what is left. It often appears in the New Testament to signify a conclusion or a transition to what follows. It can be translated as "finally" or "henceforth" when used adverbially, indicating a summation or a final exhortation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "loipon" is used to transition to concluding thoughts or to emphasize what remains to be said. This usage reflects a common rhetorical device in ancient Greek literature, where the speaker or writer would summarize or conclude their argument or message. The term is often found in epistles, where the author is wrapping up their message with final instructions or exhortations.

STRONGS NT 3063: λοιπός

λοιπός, λοιπή, λοιπόν (λείπω, λέλοιπα) (from Pindar and Herodotus down), the Sept. for יֶתֶר, נותָר, שְׁאָר, left; plural the remaining, the rest: with substantives, as οἱ λοιποί ἀπόστολοι, Acts 2:37; 1 Corinthians 9:5; add, Matthew 25:11; Romans 1:13; 2 Corinthians 12:13; Galatians 2:13; Philippians 4:3; 2 Peter 3:16; Revelation 8:13; absolutely, the rest of any number or class under consideration: simply, Matthew 22:6; Matthew 27:49; Mark 16:13; Luke 24:10; Acts 17:9; Acts 27:44; with a description added: οἱ λοιποί οἱ etc., Acts 28:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; Revelation 2:24; οἱ λοιποί πάντες, 2 Corinthians 13:2; Philippians 1:13; πᾶσι τοῖς λόγοις Luke 24:9; with a genitive: οἱ λοιποί τῶν ἀνθρώπων, Revelation 9:20; τοῦ σπέρματος, Revelation 12:17; τῶν νεκρῶν, Revelation 20:5; with a certain distinction and contrast, the rest, who are not of the specified class or number: Luke 8:10; Luke 18:9; Acts 5:13; Romans 11:7; 1 Corinthians 7:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:6; 1 Timothy 5:20; Revelation 11:13; Revelation 19:21; τά λοιπά, the rest, the things that remain: Mark 4:19; Luke 12:26; 1 Corinthians 11:34; Revelation 3:2. Neuter singular adverbially, τό λοιπόν what remains (Latinquod supcrest), i. e.

a. hereafter, for the future, henceforth (often so in Greek writings from Pindar down): Mark 14:41 R T WH (but τό in brackets); Matthew 26:45 (WH omits; Tr brackets τό); 1 Corinthians 7:29; Hebrews 10:13; and without the article, Mark 14:41 G L Tr (WH (but see above)); 2 Timothy 4:8; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 706. τοῦ λοιποῦ, henceforth, in the future, Ephesians 6:10 L T Tr WH; Galatians 6:17; Herodotus 2, 109; Aristophanes pax 1084; Xenophon, Cyril 4,4, 10; oec. 10, 9; al; cf. Herm. ad Vig., p. 706; often also in full τοῦ λοιποῦ χρόνου. (Strictly, τό λοιπόν is 'for the future' τοῦ λοιποῦ, 'in (the) future'; τό λοιπόν may be used for τοῦ λοιποῦ, but not τοῦ λοιποῦ for τό λοιπόν; cf. Meyer and Ellicott on Galatians, as above; Buttmann, §§ 128, 2; 132, 26; Winers Grammar, 463(432).)

b. at last; already: Acts 27:20 (so in later usage, see Passow or Liddell and Scott, under the word).

c. τό λοιπόν, dropping the notion of time, signifies for the rest, besides, moreover (A. V. often finally), forming a transition to other things, to which the attention of the hearer or reader is directed: Ephesians 6:10 R G; Philippians 3:1; Philippians 4:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Rec.; 2 Thessalonians 3:1; ὁ δέ λοιπόν has the same force in 1 Corinthians 4:2 R G; λοιπόν in 1 Corinthians 1:16; 1 Corinthians 4:2 L T Tr WH; 1 Thessalonians 4:1 G L T Tr WH.
