Thayer's Greek Lexicon
μόνος, μόνη, μόνον, the Sept. chiefly for ìÀáÇã (from Homer down);
1. an adjective, alone (without a companion);
a. with verbs: εἶναι, ἑυρίσκεσθαι, καταλείπεσθαι, etc., Mat 14:23; Mar 6:47; Luk 9:36; Joh 8:9; 1Th 3:1; added to the pronouns ἐγώ, αὐτός, οὐ, etc.: Mat 18:15; Mar 9:2; Luk 24:18; Rom 11:3; Rom 16:4, etc.
b. it is joined with its noun to other verbs also, so that what is predicated may be declared to apply to some one person alone (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 131 (124) note): Mat 4:10; Luk 4:8; Luk 24:12 (T omits; L Tr brackets WH reject the verse); Joh 6:22; Heb 9:7; 2Ti 4:11; with a neg. followed by ἀλλά, Mat 4:4. ὁ μόνος Θεός, he who alone is God: Joh 5:44; Joh 17:3; Rom 16:27; ὁ μόνος δεσπότης, Jud 1:4. οὐκ ... εἰ μή μόνος: Mat 12:4; Mat 17:8; Mat 24:36; Luk 6:4; οὐδείς ... εἰ μή μόνος, Php 4:15. equivalent to forsaken, destitute of help, Luk 10:40; Joh 8:16; Joh 16:32, (Wis 10:1).
2. Neuter μόνον as adverb, alone, only, merely: added to the object, Mat 5:47; Mat 10:42; Act 18:25; Gal 3:2; to the genitive Rom 3:29 (here WH marginal reading μόνων); referring to an action expressed by a verb, Mat 9:21; Mat 14:36; Mar 5:36; Luk 8:50; Act 8:16; 1Co 15:19; Gal 1:23; Gal 2:10. μόνον μή, Gal 5:13; οὐ (μή) μόνον, Gal 4:18; Jas 1:22; Jas 2:24; followed by ἀλλά, Act 19:26 (L ἀλλά καί; cf. Winers Grammar, 498 (464); Buttmann, 370 (317)); by ἀλλά πολλῷ μᾶλλον, Php 2:12; by ἀλλά καί, Mat 21:21; Joh 5:18; Joh 11:52; Joh 12:9; Joh 13:9; Joh 17:20; Act 19:26 (Lachmann (see as above, especially Buttmann)); ; Rom 1:32; Rom 4:12; Rom 4:16; Rom 4:23; 2Co 7:7, etc.; οὐ μόνον δέ ἀλλά καί: Act 19:27; and often by Paul (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 583 (543)), Rom 5:3; Rom 5:11; Rom 8:23; Rom 9:10; 2Co 7:7; 2Co 8:19; Php 2:27 (here οὐ δέ μόνον etc.); 1Ti 5:13; (2Ti 4:8. κατά μόνας (namely, χώρας), see καταμόνας).
