Meaning
Else <1,,1893, epei>
a conjunction, when used of cause, meaning "since," "otherwise," "for then," "because;" in an ellipsis, "else," as in 1Co 7:14, where the ellipsis would be "if the unbelieving husband were not sanctified in the wife, your children would be unclean;" cp. Rom 11:6, Rom 11:22, 1Co 5:10, Heb 9:26. Sometimes it introduces a question, as in Rom 3:6, 1Co 14:16, 1Co 15:29, Heb 10:2. It is translated "else" in 1Co 14:16 and in the RV in Heb 9:26, Heb 10:2, for AV, "for then."
