G4935 G4935
briefly, concisely, in a short time
This adverb means briefly, concisely, or in short order—either in terms of brevity of expression or quickness of time. The longer ending of Mark (16:20) says the disciples proclaimed the message briefly everywhere. Acts 24:4 has Tertullus asking Felix to hear them briefly, requesting conciseness. The term emphasizes economy of words or swiftness of action.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Indicates doing something briefly, concisely, or quickly, whether in speech (brevity of expression) or action (shortness of time). The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'brevemente,' French 'brièvement,' German 'in Kürze') captures both nuances. Mark 16:20 applies it to the rapid, widespread proclamation of the gospel message, while Acts 24:4 uses it as a rhetorical request for patient, brief attention—though Tertullus's subsequent speech is hardly concise. 2×
