Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is לְמַעַן (lema'an), Strong's Hebrew 4616, which also conveys the idea of purpose or causation, often translated as "for the sake of" or "in order that." Another related term is בַּעֲבוּר (ba'avur), Strong's Hebrew 5668, which can mean "because of" or "for the sake of." These terms are used in the Hebrew Bible to express reasons or purposes behind actions, similar to the usage of ἕνεκα in the Greek New Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, ἕνεκα is used to express causation or purpose, often in relation to actions taken for the benefit or sake of someone or something. It is typically followed by a genitive case noun or pronoun. Context: The Greek preposition ἕνεκα appears in various contexts within the New Testament, emphasizing the motivation or reason behind actions or events. It is a versatile term that can denote both positive and negative causation. For instance, it can be used to describe actions taken for the benefit of others, as well as actions resulting from negative circumstances or opposition. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἕνεκα is translated in contexts that highlight the purpose or reason behind a statement or action. For example, in Matthew 5:10, it is used to describe those who are persecuted "for the sake of righteousness." This usage underscores the idea of enduring hardship due to a commitment to righteous living. The term also appears in contexts where it signifies the reason for divine actions or commands. In Ephesians 3:1, Paul refers to himself as a prisoner "for the sake of you Gentiles," indicating his imprisonment is a result of his mission to preach the Gospel to the Gentile world. Overall, ἕνεκα serves as a key linguistic tool in the New Testament for articulating the motivations and purposes behind human and divine actions, reflecting the theological themes of sacrifice, mission, and divine purpose.
