mede joins or extends negative statements, linking prohibited actions, alternatives, or emphatic limits in the cited verses.

   The supplied morphology most often labels the form a conjunction, and the clauses show it adding another item or action under negation. In Matthew 10:9 the APB renders a prohibition concerning gold and then further items; in Colossians 2:21 it renders a sequence of prohibitions, “Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch”; and in 1 Corinthians 10:7 it introduces a further warning after the surrounding negative instruction. Where tagged as an adverb, it can mark an emphatic negative limit: in Mark 2:2 the APB renders “not even toward the door,” and in Mark 8:26, “Do not even enter the village.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly displays the negative linkage with “nor,” while some clauses use “not even” or leave the connection within a broader negative expression. These English forms show the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed one-to-one rendering.
