Not yet, not as yet—indicating something hasn't happened up to the present point. Paul uses it in Romans 9:11: before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—emphasizing God's choice preceded their actions. Hebrews 9:8 says the Holy Spirit signaled that the Most Holy Place's way wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle still stood. Classical Greek used it both as a temporal adverb ('not yet') and as a conjunction ('lest yet'). The emphasis is on timing—something true now but not yet at some earlier point.
