oÌ‚l-bē´it ( ἱÌνα μὴ, hıÌna meÌ„Ì; literally, “lestâ€): Occurs in a paraphrase rather than as a translation of a clause in the King James Version. The thought is: “although†or “albeit†(synonym of “althoughâ€) “I might say,†etc. This the Revised Version (British and American) translates with intense literalness: “that I say notâ€.
