remaining
loipos identifies people, things, or time left over from a stated group, and can introduce what follows.
The term most often marks the people, things, or time left from a larger group or situation; in a smaller set of clause-initial uses, it introduces the next or concluding point, including an onward-looking statement.
Senses in use
-
Those or things left from a group · dominant
Across its gender, number, and case forms, the adjective identifies a remainder in relation to a specified group or situation. In Acts 27:44 the APB renders those reaching land after others as “The rest”; in Revelation 3:2 it renders the objects needing strengthening as “what remains”; and in Revelation 12:17 it speaks of “the rest of her offspring.” The same use can concern other matters, as in 1 Corinthians 11:34, or time and possibilities left over, as in Luke 12:26.
-
A transition to what follows · common
The accusative singular neuter form appears at the opening of several exhortations or forward-looking statements. In 1 Thessalonians 4:1 and 2 Thessalonians 3:1 the APB renders the transition “Finally,” before a request or exhortation; in 2 Timothy 4:8 it renders an onward statement “Henceforth,” and Galatians 6:17 similarly begins “From now on.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “rest,” “remaining,” “other,” or “what remains,” while clause-initial accusative singular neuter forms are rendered “Finally,” “Henceforth,” or “From now on.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than fixed one-to-one equivalents.
