1352. dio
Strong's Lexicon
dio: therefore, for this reason, because of this

Original Word: διό
Part of Speech: Conjunction
Transliteration: dio
Pronunciation: dee-oh'
Phonetic Spelling: (dee-o')
Definition: therefore, for this reason, because of this
Meaning: wherefore, on which account, therefore.

Word Origin: A compound of διά (dia, Strong's 1223) meaning "through" or "because of" and ὅ (ho, Strong's 3739) meaning "which" or "that."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek conjunction "διό," similar logical connectors in Hebrew might include words like "לָכֵן" (lachen, Strong's 3651) meaning "therefore" or "thus."

Usage: The Greek conjunction "διό" is used to draw a conclusion or inference from what has been previously stated. It serves as a logical connector, indicating that what follows is a result or consequence of the preceding argument or statement. In the New Testament, it often introduces a reason or explanation, emphasizing the logical outcome or necessity of an action or belief.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "διό" is used in a Greco-Roman world where rhetoric and logical argumentation were highly valued. The use of such conjunctions would have been familiar to both Jewish and Gentile audiences, as they were common in Greek literature and speech. The New Testament writers employed "διό" to make theological points clear and to ensure that their teachings were understood as coherent and logically sound.
