a negative particle, often used as a conjunction, is frequently translated "lest," e.g., Mark 13:36 (in ver. 5, RV, "that no," for AV, "lest"); Acts 13:40; 23:10 .
"in order that not," is rendered "lest," e.g., in Matthew 17:27; in some instances the RV renders the phrase "that ... not," e.g., Luke 8:12 , or "that ... no," 1—Corinthians 9:12 (AV, "lest").
denotes "lest ever, lest perhaps, lest at any time," e.g., Matthew 4:6; "lest haply," Matthew 7:6 , RV (AV, "lest"), and in Matthew 13:15 (AV, "lest at any time"); in Matthew 25:9 , RV, "peradventure" (AV, "lest"). The RV does not translate this simply by "lest," as in the AV; see further, e.g., in Matthew 27:64; Mark 14:2; Luke 12:58; the addition of pote requires the fuller rendering.
Luke 14:29used as a conjunction, denotes "lest somehow, lest haply, lest by any means," e.g., 2—Corinthians 2:7 , RV, "lest by any means" (AV, "lest perhaps"); so 2—Corinthians 12:20 (twice); Galatians 4:11 (AV, "lest"); in 1—Thessalonians 3:5 (AV, "lest by some means").
"lest perhaps," is used in Acts 27:29 , RV, "lest haply" (AV, "lest").
