akin to polus, “much, many,” is variously translated, e.g., “oft-times,” Mat 17:15<\/span> (AV, “oft,” 2nd part); “many times,” 2Co 8:22<\/span>, RV (AV, “often-times”); “oft,” 2Co 11:23<\/span>; “often” (2Co 11:26<\/span>). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

the neuter plural of polus, is translated “oft” in Mat 9:14<\/span>; some ancient authorities omit it here (see RV marg.); in Rom 15:22<\/span>, with the article, RV, “these many times” (AV, “much”). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

an interrogative numeral adverb, “how many times, how oft (or often)?” occurs in Mat 18:21<\/span>; Mat 23:37<\/span>; Luk 13:34<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

a relative adverb, “as often” (or oft) as, 1Co 11:25-26<\/span>; Rev 11:6<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

the neuter plural of puknos (see B), used adverbially, is translated “often” in Luk 5:33<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

the neuter singular of the comparative degree of puknos (cp. No. 5, and see B), “very often,” or “so much the oftener,” Act 24:26<\/span>, “the oftener.” <\/p>\n

Notes: (1) In Luk 8:29<\/span>, the phrase pollois chronois, lit., “many times,” is translated “often-times” (RV marg., “of a long time”). (2) For the rendering “oft” in Mar 7:3<\/span>, see DILIGENTLY, D, No. 2. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

primarily signifies “close, compact, solid;” hence, “frequent, often,” 1Ti 5:23<\/span>. Cp. A, Nos. 5 and 6. <\/p>\n
