Thayer's Greek Lexicon
μέντοι (μέν, τοι) (Tr μέν τοι in 2Ti 2:19), a particle of affirmation, and hence, also often of opposition (on its various use in classical Greek cf. Devar., p. 124f and Klotz’s comments, vol. ii. 2, pp. 60 and 663ff; Herm. ad Vig., p. 840f), but yet, nevertheless, howbeit: Joh 4:27; Joh 7:13; Joh 20:5; Joh 21:4; 2Ti 2:19; Jud 1:8 (the connection of which verse with what precedes is as follows: ’although these examples were set forth as warnings, nevertheless’ etc.); ὅμως μέντοι, yet nevertheless, Joh 12:42; μέντοι, equivalent to rather, Jas 2:8 (if ye do not have respect of persons, but rather observe the law of love, with which προσωποληψία is incompatible; (if however, howbeit if)).
