Berean Strong's Lexicon eiper: if indeed, if so be, since Original Word: εἴπερ Part of Speech: Conditional Particle Or Conjunction Transliteration: eiper Pronunciation: AY-per Phonetic Spelling: (i per) Definition: if indeed, if so be, since Meaning: if indeed, if so. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "εἴπερ," the concept of conditional statements can be found in Hebrew conjunctions like אִם (im, "if"). Usage: The Greek conjunction "εἴπερ" is used to express a condition that is assumed to be true for the sake of argument or to emphasize the reality of a situation. It often introduces a statement that is considered to be a logical or necessary conclusion based on the preceding context. In the New Testament, it is used to affirm the certainty or reality of a condition or situation, often in theological or doctrinal contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, conditional statements were a common rhetorical device used in philosophical and legal arguments. The use of "εἴπερ" in the New Testament reflects this cultural practice, emphasizing the logical and necessary conclusions of Christian doctrine. The early Christian writers used such terms to affirm the truths of the Gospel and the implications of faith in Christ.
