He may or may not!
All do μή speak in tongues, do they? (1 Cor 12:29)
Has the same basic meaning as οὐ but is used in different situations that we will discuss later.
| Romans 8:4 | so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not (mē | μή | particle) walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. |
| Romans 9:14 | What then shall we say? Is there not (mē | μή | particle) injustice on God’s part? By no means! (mē | μή | particle) |
| Romans 9:20 | But who are you, a mere mortal, to criticize God? Certainly the thing that is molded may not (mē | μή | particle) say to the one who molded it, “Why have you made me like this?” |
| Romans 9:29 | And as Isaiah predicted, “If the Lord of hosts had not (mē | μή | particle) left to us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah.” |
| Romans 9:30 | What then shall we say? — that the Gentiles who did not (mē | μή | particle) pursue righteousness have obtained it, the righteousness that is by faith; |
| Romans 10:6 | But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not (mē | μή | particle) say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), |
| Romans 10:15 | And how are they to proclaim the message unless they are sent? As it is written, “How timely are the feet of those who preach good news!” |
| Romans 10:18 | But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they (mē | μή | particle) have (mē | μή | particle), for, “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” |
| Romans 10:19 | But I ask, did Israel not understand? First of all, Moses says, “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; by a nation void of understanding I will make you angry.” |
| Romans 10:20 | Then Isaiah very boldly says, “I was found by those who were not (mē | μή | particle) looking for me; I became well known to those who were not (mē | μή | particle) asking for me.” |
| Romans 11:1 | So I ask, has God repudiated his people? By no means! (mē | μή | particle) For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. |
| Romans 11:8 | as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not (mē | μή | particle) see and ears that would not (mē | μή | particle) hear, to this very day.” |
| Romans 11:10 | May their eyes be darkened so they cannot (mē | μή | particle) see, and keep their backs constantly bent.” |
| Romans 11:11 | So I ask, did they stumble so as to fall? By no means! (mē | μή | particle) But because of their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles so as to make Israel jealous. |
| Romans 11:15 | For if their rejection leads to the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? |
| Romans 11:18 | do not (mē | μή | particle) become arrogant toward the branches. But if you do, consider this: it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. |
| Romans 11:20 | That is true. They were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not (mē | μή | particle) be proud, but stand in awe. |
| Romans 11:21 | For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps (mē | μή | conj) he will not spare you either. |
| Romans 11:23 | And even they, if they do not (mē | μή | particle) continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. |
| Romans 11:25 | I do not want you to be uninformed, my brothers, of this mystery — so that you may not (mē | μή | particle) be wise in your own conceits — that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. |
| Romans 12:2 | And do not (mē | μή | particle) be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. |
| Romans 12:3 | For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you that he should not (mē | μή | particle) think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think with sober judgment, as God has assigned to each a measure of faith. |
| Romans 12:11 | do not (mē | μή | particle) lag in zeal; be enthusiastic in spirit; serve the Lord; |
| Romans 12:14 | Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not (mē | μή | particle) curse them. |
| Romans 12:16 | Live in harmony with one another; do not (mē | μή | particle) be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not (mē | μή | particle) be wise in your own estimation. |
