To-day, This Day:

an adverb (the Attic form is temeron), akin to hemera, a day, with the prefix t originally representing a pronoun. It is used frequently in Matthew, Luke and Acts; in the last it is always rendered "this day;" also in Hbr 1:5, and the RV of Hbr 5:5 (AV, "to day") in the same quotation; "to-day" in Hbr 3:7, 13, 15; 4:7 (twice); 13:8; also Jam 4:13.

The clause containing semeron is sometimes introduced by the conjunction hoti, "that," e.g., Mar 14:30; Luk 4:21; 19:9; sometimes without the conjunction, e.g., Luk 22:34; 23:43, where "today" is to be attached to the next statement, "shalt thou be with Me;" there are no grammatical reasons for the insistence that the connection must be with the statement "Verily I say unto thee," nor is such an idea necessitated by examples from either the Sept. or the NT; the connection given in the AV and RV is right.

In Rom 11:8; 2Cr 3:14, 15, the lit. rendering is "unto the to-day day," the emphasis being brought out by the RV, "unto (until) this very day."

In Hbr 4:7, the "to-day" of Psa 95:7 is evidently designed to extend to the present period of the Christian faith.
