Thayer's Expanded Definition

καινός, καινή, καινόν (from Aeschylus and Herodotus down); the Sept. for חָדָשׁ; new, i. e.

a. as respects form; recently made, fresh, recent, unused, unworn (opposed to παλαιός old, antiquated): as ἀσκός, Matthew 9:11; Mark 2:22 (T omits; Tr WH brackets the clause); Luke 5:38 ἱμάτιον, Luke 5:36; πλήρωμα, Mark 2:21; μνημεῖον, Matthew 27:60; with ἐν οὐδέπω οὐδείς ἐτέθη added, John 19:41; καινά καί παλαιά, Matthew 13:52; new, which as recently made is superior to what it succeeds: διαθήκη, Matthew 26:28 (T WH omit καινά); Mark 14:24 R L; Luke 22:20 (WH reject the passage); 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 8:8, 13; Hebrews 9:15 (Jeremiah 38:31 ()); καινοί οὐρανοί, καινή γῆ, 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1 (Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:22); Ἱερουσαλήμ (see Ἱεροσόλυμα, at the end), Revelation 3:12; Revelation 21:2; ἄνθρωπος (see the word, 1 f.), Ephesians 2:15; Ephesians 4:24 (καρδία, πνεῦμα, Ezekiel 18:31; Ezekiel 36:26); καινά πάντα ποιῶ, I bring all things into a new and better condition, Revelation 21:5; γέννημα τῆς ἀμπέλου, Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25.

b. as respects substance; of a new kind; unprecedented, novel, uncommon, unheard of (ἑτέρα καί καινά δαιμόνια, Xenophon, mem. 1, 1, 1): διδαχή, Mark 1:27; Acts 17:19; ἐντολή, given now for the first time, John 13:34; 1 John 2:7; 2 John 1:5; ὄνομα, with the added explanation οὐδείς οἶδεν (ἔγνω Rec.), Revelation 2:17 (Isaiah 62:2; Isaiah 65:15); ᾠδή, Revelation 5:9; Revelation 14:3 (Psalm 143:9 (); ὕμνος, Isaiah 42:10; ᾆσμα, Psalm 32:3 (); (), etc.); λέγειν τί καί ( L T Tr WH) ἀκούειν καινότερον, Acts 17:21 (newer namely, than that which is already; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 244 (228f))); κτίσις, Galatians 6:15; καινά τά πάντα, all things are new, previously non-existent, begin to be far different from what they were before, 2 Corinthians 5:17 (L T Tr WH omit τά πάντα); μηκέτι οὔσης τῆς ἀνομίας, καινων δέ γεγονότων πάντων ὑπό κυρίου, the Epistle of Barnabas 15, 7 [ET]. γλῶσσαι (see γλῶσσα, 2): Mark 16:17 (Tr text WH text omit; Tr marginal reading brackets καινων) [SYNONYMS: καινός, νέος: νέος denotes the new primarily in reference to time, the young, recent; καινός denotes the new primarily in reference to quality, the fresh, unworn; 'νέος ad tempus refertur, καινός ad rem;' see Trench, § lx.; Tittmann i., p. 59f; Green, 'Critical Note' on Matthew 9:17 (where the words occur together). The same distinction, in the main, holds in classic usage; cf. Schmidt ii., chapter 47.]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Papyrus usage hardly tends to sharpen the distinction between καινός and νέος. In P Petr III. 80i. 5 (Ptol.) a town named Ptolemais is Πτ. ἡ καινή, while in ib. 72(b).16 it is Πτ. ἡ νέα. P Petr III. 37(a)i. 18 (Ptol.) has χῶμα καινόν contrasted with .21 χῶμα παλαιόν : ib. 46(1).17 has π ̣ρ ̣ο ̣ς ̣, τ ̣α ̣, θ ̣εμέλια τῆς καινῆς καταλύσεως, ";new quarters."; Ostr 1142.4 (beginning iii/A.D.) gives us οἶνος καινός to contrast with οἶνος νέος in Mark 2:22. P Amh II. 64.2 (A.D. 107) περὶ δαπάνης εἰς τὸ ἐκ καινῆς κατασκευαζόμενον βαλανεῖον, ";concerning expenditure on the baths which were being refitted"; (Edd.) : so P Oxy IV. 707i. 7 (c. A.D. 136) οἰκοδομή ]σω τροχὸν ἐκ καινῆς, ";a new wheel,"; PTebt II. 342.16 (late ii/A.D.) τὸ κατασκευασθ (ὲν) ἐκ καινῆς ἐν Σομολ () κεραμεῖον. Two inventories P Tebt II. 405.8 (iii/A.D.), 406.17 (c. A.D. 266) have κόβ (= φ)ινος καινός, ";a new basket,"; and κολόβιον λινοῦν δ [ ]σημον καινόν, ";a new linen shirt with two stripes"; : it may be doubted whether stress is to be laid on their being hitherto unused, though perhaps they were of ancient manufacture. See also P Hib I. 54.26 (c. B.C. 245) κέραμον κα ̣[ι ]νόν, P Lond 402 verso.12 (B.C. 152 or 141) (= II. p. 11) ὀθόνια καινά, P Fay 121.5 (c. A.D. 100) ζυγόδεσμον καινόν, and CP Herm I. 86.10 καινοῦ νομίσματο [ς : cf..18. In P Heid 6.10 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 126) the writer addresses a Christian ";brother"; as δεσπότην καὶ κενὸν (l. καινὸν) (π) [τ ]ρω [να. Τὰ καινότερον (like τὰ πάλαι, etc.), unless it is a mere mistake for τι, is the phrase for ";news"; in BGU III. 821.4 (ii/A.D.) ἀνέβ ̣η εἰ [ς τ ]ὴν πόλιν, ἵνα εἰδ [ ] τὰ καινότερον, followed by .6 ὅταν ἦν (= , as often) τι καιτότερον, εὐθέως σοι δηλ [ ]σω : cf. Acts 17:21. For the subst. καινισμός see P Lond 354.16 (c. B.C. 10) (= II. p. 165) ἀποστάσεως καινισμὸν παραλογιεῖσθαι, and for the verb καινίζω see P Tor II. 7.18 μὴ προσέχειν τοῖς ἐπὶ χρειῶν τεταγμένοις και (νί)ζειν τι, and Wünsch AF 5.27 (iii/A.D.) ὁρκίζω σε. . τὸν ποιοῦντα ἔκτρομον τὴν [γ ]ῆν ἅπασ (αν καὶ) καινίζοντα πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας (cf. Wisdom of Solomon 7:27).

In MGr καινός is ";literary"; : the New Testament in Pallis’ edition is ἡ νέα διαθήκη, which shows how νέος has gained ground at the expense of its rival.
