Senses in use

  1. ceasing in contrast with continued action · dominant

    In Luke 7:45, the aorist active indicative form occurs in a contrast between the absent kiss and the woman’s ongoing kissing of Jesus’ feet. The APB renders the continuing action as “has not ceased to kiss my feet since the time she came in,” confirming a cessation-versus-continuance contrast in the clause.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 7:45, the APB presents the clause with “has not ceased,”.
