palin marks an action, event, statement, or movement as occurring anew or returning after an earlier point.

The adverb most often marks an action or event as occurring anew, as with renewed attempts, speech, or activity. It also marks return to a prior place or condition, and it can introduce a further statement or quotation alongside what has already been said.

1. An action or event occurring anew · dominant

   The adverb marks renewed activity or a repeated event: in John 10:31 the APB renders, "Again the Jews picked up stones in order to stone him," and in Acts 27:28 it describes sounding after an earlier measurement. It likewise accompanies renewed speech or action in John 10:7 and James 5:18.

2. Return to a prior place or condition · common

   The adverb can mark movement back or a renewed state after departure or change. In John 10:40 the APB renders a move "again to the other side of the Jordan," while Galatians 4:9 describes turning back to principles to which the readers desire renewed enslavement.

   John 10:40John 11:7Acts 18:212 Corinthians 1:16Galatians 4:92 Peter 2:20
3. A further statement or quotation · occasional

   The adverb introduces an additional declaration after another statement. In Hebrews 1:5 the APB renders, "Or again," before a further quotation, and in 2 Corinthians 11:16 it opens the speaker's renewed address, "Again I say."

   Hebrews 1:5Hebrews 2:13Hebrews 10:302 Corinthians 11:16Galatians 1:91 Corinthians 3:20

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the adverb with "again," including repeated actions, renewed speech, and return. It also uses wording such as "turning back again" and "once more"; These render the verse's overall recurrence rather than establishing a separate lexical meaning.
