AI Summary

ἀλλά is a strong contrasting conjunction, chiefly translated "but" 1234. It marks an opposition between two statements, and is stronger than the ordinary connective "δέ" 13. It is used after a negative statement to introduce what is true instead ("not this, but that") 13, including the pattern "not only... but also" 13. It also introduces a contrast, interruption, or transition without a preceding negative, and can appear before commands or requests, or to add emphasis to what follows (sometimes rendered "yea," "indeed," or "nay") 1. In the conclusion of a sentence that begins with a condition or concession ("if... yet"), it can mean "yet," "still," or "at least" 13. Strong's lists a range of English renderings covering these same shades of contrast, including "howbeit," "nevertheless," "notwithstanding," "therefore," and "yea" 2.

In some contexts, especially following a negative, ἀλλά functions like "except" rather than a plain contrast, equivalent to saying "if not... but" 134.

The word is grammatically the neuter plural of "ἄλλος" ("other"), used adverbially, which originally gave it the sense "otherwise" or "on the other hand" before it settled into its use as a conjunction 123. When combined with other particles, it can take on further nuanced meanings such as "yet at least," "except only," or "well then," depending on the particles joined with it 13.

Abbott-Smith — the 1922 lexicon entry, in full

ἀλλά (ἀλλ’ usually bef. α and υ, often bef. ε and η, rarely bef. ο and ω, never bef. ι; Tdf., Pr., 93 f.; WH, App., 146),

adversative particle,
stronger than δέ; prop. neuter pl. of ἄλλος, used adverbially, with changed accent; hence prop. otherwise, on the other hand (cf. Ro 3:31);
1. opposing a previous negation, but: οὐ (μὴ)... ἀ., Mt 5:15, 17 Mk 5:39, Jo 7:16, al.; rhetorically subordinating but not entirely negativing what precedes, οὐ... ἀ., not so much... as, Mk 9:37, Mt 10:20, Jo 12:44, al.; with ellipse of the negation, Mt 11:7-9, Ac 19:2, I Co 3:6 6:11 7:7, II Co 7:1, Ga 2:3, al.; in opposition to a foregoing pos. sentence, ἀ. οὐ, Mt 24:6, I Co 10:23; οὐ μόνον... ἀ. καί, Jo 5:18, Ro 1:32, al.; elliptically, after a negation, ἀ. ἵνα, Mk 14:49, Jo 1:8 9:3, al.; = εἰ μή (Bl., §77, 13; M, Pr., 241; but cf. WM, §iii, 10), Mt 20:23, Mk 4:22.
2. Without previous negation, to express opposition, interruption, transition, etc., but: Jo 16:20 12:27, Ga 2:14; before commands or requests, Ac 10:20 26:16, Mt 9:18, Mk 9:22, al.; to introduce an accessory idea, II Co 7:11; in the apodosis after a condition or concession with εἰ, ἐάν, εἴπερ, yet, still, at least, Mk 14:29, I Co 9:2, II Co 4:16, Col 2:5, al.; after μέν, Ac 4:17, Ro 14:20, I Co 14:17; giving emphasis to the following clause, ἀλλ’ ἔρχεται ὥρα, yea, etc., Jo 16:2; so with neg., ἀλλ’ οὐδέ, nay, nor yet, Lk 23:15.
3. Joined with other particles (a practice which increases in late writers; Simcox, LNT, 166), ἀ. γε, yet at least, Lk 24:21, I Co 9:2; ἄ ἤ., save only, except, Lk 12:51, II Co 1:13; ἀ. μὲν οὖν, Phl 3:8 (on this usage, v. MM, VGT, s.v.).
