ouketi marks that an earlier action, condition, relationship, or possibility no longer continues.

The adverb marks the cessation of something previously true or ongoing: seeing, speaking, acting, remaining in a status, or being able to do something. It can mark a changed condition without implying that the change is permanent, as the sequence of not seeing and then seeing again in John 16:16 shows.

    Across the occurrences, the adverb marks what no longer obtains after a change: in John 11:54 the APB renders Jesus as no longer walking openly, and in Ephesians 2:19 it renders the readers as no longer foreigners and sojourners. It also marks a ceased ability or activity: in John 21:6 they are no longer able to haul in the net, while in Hebrews 10:18 there is no longer an offering for sin.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly expresses the adverb with “no longer,” “no more,” or “any longer,” as in John 11:54, Acts 20:25, and Revelation 18:11. These phrases show the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent in every verse.
