Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
μέχρι méchri, mekh'-ree; from G3372; as far as, i.e. up to a certain point (as a preposition, of extent (denoting the terminus, whereas G891 refers especially to the space of time or place intervening) or conjunction):—till, (un-)to, until.
STRONGS G3360:
μέχρι and μέχρις (the latter never stands in the N. T. before a consonant, but μέχρι stands also before a vowel in Luke 16:16 T Tr WH; see ἄχρι, at the beginning; and on the distinction between ἄχρι and μέχρι see ἄχρι, at the end), a particle indicating the terminus ad quem: as far as, unto, until;
1. it has the force of a preposition with the genitive ((so even in Homer) Winer's Grammar, § 54, 6), and is used

b. of place: ἀπό... μέχρι, Romans 15:19.
c. of measure and degree: μέχρι θανάτου, so that he did not shrink even from death, Philippians 2:8 (2 Macc. 13:14; Plato, de rep., p. 361 c. at the end; μέχρι φόνου, Clement. hom. 1, 11); κακοπάθειν μέχρι δεσμῶν, 2 Timothy 2:9; μέχρις αἵματος ἀντικατέστητε, Hebrews 12:4.
