nuni marks the present situation or moment, often setting what is current against what was previously the case.

The occurrences use the adverb to locate a statement, action, or condition in the present. It frequently introduces what is currently true in contrast with an earlier state, as with reconciliation after being far off, release after being held, or present usefulness after former uselessness; it can also focus an immediate appeal, charge, or intended action.

   The adverb marks what holds in the current setting, often after a contrast: in Ephesians 2:13 the APB renders those once far off as having been brought near, and in Philemon 1:11 it contrasts former uselessness with present usefulness. It also frames immediate speech or action: in Acts 22:1 the APB renders an appeal to hear a defense, while in 2 Corinthians 8:11 it renders an instruction to complete the doing.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly reflects the adverb with "now," especially in contrasts between a former and a present condition. In Hebrews 9:26 it instead renders the transition "but as it is"; These renderings indicate the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
