AI Summary
οὐκέτι means no longer, no more — marking that something which used to be the case has stopped being so 124. It is a negative adverb of time 1, and can also be combined with another negative simply to make the negation stronger 1. In wider Greek usage it can also mean "not now," as opposed to "not yet," though this broader sense is not the one found in the Bible 3.
