What it means

not even one (man, woman, thing)

from G3361 (μή) and G1520 (εἷς);

How the KJV renders it

any man, thing, none, not at all, a whit, nothing

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

Questions this word decides

• Does Colossians 2:16 abolish the Sabbath?
