Winer's Grammar, 460 (429)); ναί ἐν αὐτῷ γέγονεν, in him what was promised has come to pass, 2Co 1:19; ἐπαγγελίαι ἐν αὐτῷ τό ναί namely, γεγόνασιν, have been fulfilled, have been confirmed by the event, 2Co 1:20 (cf.

(A classification of the uses of ναί in the N. T. is given by Ellicott on Phi 4:3; cf. Green, 'Grit. Note' on Mat 11:26.)
