The attested use marks limitation or restriction: Philippians 1:29 sets believing in Christ alongside suffering for his sake in a “not only... but also” construction, while Matthew 10:42 occurs in the clause about giving a cup of cold water, where the translation does not isolate its contribution.

   The form is tagged as an adverb in both verses. In Philippians 1:29 the APB renders the clause “not only to believe in him but also to suffer for his sake,” visibly presenting a restriction followed by an added element. In Matthew 10:42 the APB renders the action as giving “even a cup of cold water to drink”; the verse context supports a limiting use, though the translation does not identify a separate English rendering for the term.
