Word Origin: Derived from a primary preposition of purpose or result Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is לְמַעַן (lema'an), which also means "for the sake of" or "because of." Usage: The Greek preposition "heneka" is used to indicate the reason or purpose for an action. It often conveys the idea of doing something "for the sake of" or "because of" a particular reason or person. In the New Testament, it is used to express motivations or causes behind actions, often in the context of suffering, sacrifice, or dedication to a higher purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of acting "for the sake of" something was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. It often implied a sense of duty, honor, or devotion. In the Jewish context, actions taken "for the sake of" God or His commandments were seen as acts of piety and faithfulness. The use of "heneka" in the New Testament reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the importance of motivation and purpose in the life of a believer.
