AI Summary
λοιπός describes what is left over or remaining, and in the plural or with the article is used as a noun meaning the rest (of a group of people or things) 1234. It can refer to remaining people, such as "the rest" of a group of disciples or believers, or to remaining things or time, and can also carry the sense of a remnant or residue 24.
The neuter singular form, especially with the article (to loipon), is also used adverbially. Used of time, it means from now on, henceforth, pointing to the future 13. Used more generally, it can mean for the rest, besides, moreover, or, in address, finally 13.
