Acts 27:22

And now (kai ta nun). Accusative plural neuter article of general reference in contrast with men in verse Acts 27:21. Paul shows modesty (Bengel) in the mild contrast.

No loss of life (apobolh yuxhv oudemia). Old word from apoballw, to throw away, only twice in N.T. Romans 11:15 (rejection) and here. He had foretold such loss of life as likely (verse Acts 27:10), but he now gives his reason for his changed view.
