Subjects in this Topic:

ôl-bē´it ( ἵνα μὴ, hı́na mḗ; literally, “lest”): 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 “although”) “I might say,” etc. This the Revised Version (British and American) translates with intense literalness: “that I say not”.
