1: πάντως
(Strong's #3843 — Adverb — pantos — pan'-toce )

an adverb from pas, "all," denoting "wholly, altogether, entirely," is used in 1—Corinthians 9:22 , "by all means." When the Apostle says, "I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some," he is simply speaking of his accommodating himself to various human conditions consistently with fidelity to the truth, with no unscriptural compliance with men, but in the exercise of self denial; "by all means" refers to the preceding context from 1—Corinthians 9:18 , and stresses his desire to be used in the salvation of some. It is found in Acts 21:22 , RV, "certainly." Some mss. have the word in this sense in Acts 18:21 (AV). See ALTOGETHER , B, No. 1.

2: πως
(Strong's #4458 — particle — pos — poce )

"at all, somehow, in any way," is used after the conjunction (a) ei, "if," meaning "if by any means," e.g., Acts 27:12; Romans 1:10; 11:14; Philippians 3:11; (b) me, "lest, lest by any means," e.g., 1—Corinthians 8:9; 9:27; 2—Corinthians 2:7 , RV (AV, "perhaps"); 2—Corinthians 9:4 , RV (AV, "haply"); 11:3; 12:20, RV; Galatians 2:2; 4:11 , RV (AV, "lest"); 1—Thessalonians 3:5 (AV, "lest by some means").

3: ἐΞ
(Strong's #1537 — Preposition — ek — ek, ex )

"out of, from, by," suggesting "the source from which something is done," is sometimes rendered "by means of," e.g., Luke 16:9 , RV, "by means of (the mammon of unrighteousness);" AV, "of;" 2—Corinthians 1:11 , "by (the) means of (many)."

4: διά
(Strong's #1223 — Preposition — dia — dee-ah' )

"by, by means of," when followed by the genitive case, is instrumental, e.g., 2—Peter 3:6 , RV, "by which means" (AV, "whereby").

5: πῶς
(Strong's #4459 — particle — pos — poce )

an interrogative adverb (different from No. 2), "how, in what way," Luke 8:36 , AV, "by what means," RV, "how;" so John 9:21; cp. Note (4) below.
