Historical & Contextual Notes
διαπαντός is a late Hellenistic and Koine adverb, not attested in classical Greek. In the Septuagint and New Testament, it functions to express actions or states that persist continuously or without ceasing, such as in prayer or thanksgiving. It is found primarily in religious or epistolary contexts to signal unbroken duration, reinforcing perpetual or habitual aspects. Standard English translations like 'always' or 'continually' capture much of its nuance, yet may obscure the intensified sense that the adverb conveys. Not to be confused with παντοτε ('always'), which can simply indicate consistency but not the same strong sense of unbroken continuity present in διαπαντός.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
from διά and the genitive case of πᾶς; through all time, i.e. (adverbially) constantly:--alway(-s), continually.
Root Family
διά, πᾶς (diapantós) — through, all
