is, lit., "through," pas, i.e., through all time, (dia, "through," pas, "all"). In the best texts the words are separated. The phrase, which is used of the time throughout which a thing is done, is sometimes rendered "continually," sometimes "always;" "always" or "alway" in Mar 5:5, Act 10:2, Act 24:16, Rom 11:10; "continually" in Luk 24:53, Heb 9:6, Heb 13:15, the idea being that of a continuous practice carried on without being abandoned. See CONTINUALLY.

<4,,3839 / 3842,pante / pantote> are derived from pas, "all." The former is found in Act 24:3. The latter is the usual word for "always." See EVER, EVERMORE.

Note: Two phrases, rendered "always" or "alway" in the AV, are en panti kairo (lit., "in every season"), Luk 21:36, RV, "at every season," Eph 6:18, RV, "at all seasons," and pasas tas hemeras, (lit., "all the days"), Mat 28:20, AV and RV, "alway."
