Historical & Contextual Notes
In Koine Greek, λοιποῦ is the genitive singular (masculine, feminine, or neuter, depending on construction) of λοιπός. As a genitive of temporal reference (e.g., τοῦ λοιποῦ), it frequently marks 'from now on' or 'for the remainder (of time),' a common idiom in New Testament and Hellenistic usage. The temporal genitive usage appears in both literary and documentary Greek, especially in legal or formulaic passages to denote an ongoing state or future duration (e.g., Luke 22:18, Galatians 6:17). Earlier in classical Greek, the adjective λοιπός had the usual meaning 'remaining; left over.' In New Testament translation, this phrase is sometimes rendered as 'from now on,' 'hereafter,' or 'for the rest,' but these English translations can obscure the temporal and partitive nuance conveyed by the Greek genitive construction.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
genitive case singular of the same as λοιποί; remaining time:--from henceforth.
