μέχρι

Matthew 11:23 μέχρι until

And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.

Here: 'Right up to'. It stretches the imagined survival into the hearers' own day.

Matthew 28:15 μέχρι until

So the guards took the money and did as they were instructed. And this account has been circulated among the Jews to this very day.

Here: 'Until, right up to': the story was still going around when the Gospel was written.

Mark 13:30 μέχρις until

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Here: Marks the point before which the generation will not pass: everything must happen before the generation is gone.

Luke 16:16 μέχρι until

The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

Here: Marks a limit in time: the age that the Law and the Prophets defined ran up to John. It does not say they were cancelled. The next verse rules that out.

Acts 10:30 μέχρι until

Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

Here: 'Up to this hour.' Together with apo, it measures the gap exactly: four days back to this same time of day.

Acts 20:7 μέχρι until

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Since Paul was ready to leave the next day, he talked to them and kept on speaking until midnight.

Here: "As far as, until": marks the point in time the talk reached.

Romans 5:14 μέχρι until

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

Here: 'Up to' Moses. It marks off the period before the Law was given at Sinai, the period v.13 called 'until the law'.

Romans 15:19 μέχρι unto

by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

Here: Marks the far limit. The word can mean up to the border or into the territory, so it does not settle whether Paul actually preached inside Illyricum.

Galatians 4:19 μέχρις until

My children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,

Here: "Until." It sets a goal for the labor: it goes on as long as the outcome has not arrived.

Ephesians 4:13 μέχρι until

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

Here: Marks the finish line of the process begun in v.12 (equipping and building up). With the subjunctive and no time stated, it points to a goal still ahead whose date is open.

Philippians 2:8 μέχρι unto

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

Here: 'As far as' or 'to the point of.' It marks how far the obedience went, not simply when it ended. His obedience went all the way to its furthest limit. It does not mean he obeyed death.

Philippians 2:30 μέχρι unto

because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.

Here: "As far as, to the very point of." The same phrase "to the point of death" (mechri thanatou) was used of Christ in 2:8, and the echo looks deliberate.

1 Timothy 6:14 μέχρι until

Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Here: Sets the finish line: the keeping is to last all the way to the Lord's manifestation. It describes the horizon of faithfulness, not a fixed date.

2 Timothy 2:9 μέχρι even to

for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

Here: "To the point of": the suffering has gone as far as actual fetters, not just hardship or hostility.

Hebrews 3:14 μέχρι unto

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

Here: 'All the way to'. The holding has to last the whole stretch.

Hebrews 9:10 μέχρι until

They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.

Here: 'Until'. The regulations had an end point built in. They were meant to hold for a set period.

Hebrews 12:4 μέχρις unto

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

Here: Marks the furthest point a struggle can reach. Paired with 'blood', it makes a fixed phrase: to the limit, to the point of bloodshed or death.
