Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words

1: μόλις

(Strong's #3433 — Adverb — molis — mol'-is )

signifies "with difficulty, hardly" (from molos, "toil"). In Luke 9:39 , it is rendered "hardly," of the "difficulty" in the departure of a demon. In Acts 27:7,8,16 , where the AV has three different renderings, "scarce," "hardly," and "much work," respectively, the RV has "with difficulty" in each place. For its other meanings, "scarce, scarcely," see Acts 14:18; Romans 5:7; 1 Peter 4:18 . See HARDLY , No. 3.
