Strong's Lexicon dioti: because, for, therefore Original Word: διότι Part of Speech: Conjunction Transliteration: dioti Pronunciation: dee-ot-ee Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ot'-ee) Definition: because, for, therefore Meaning: on this account, because, for. Word Origin: A compound of διά (dia, Strong's 1223) meaning "through" or "because of" and ὅτι (hoti, Strong's 3754) meaning "that" or "because." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "διότι," similar causal conjunctions in Hebrew include כִּי (ki, Strong's 3588), which is often translated as "because" or "for." Usage: The Greek conjunction "διότι" is used to express causation or reason. It is often translated as "because" or "for," indicating the reason or explanation for a preceding statement. In the New Testament, it is used to connect theological truths with their practical implications or to explain the rationale behind a command or teaching. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "διότι" is used in a Greco-Roman world where logical reasoning and rhetoric were highly valued. The use of conjunctions like "διότι" helped early Christian writers articulate their theological arguments and teachings clearly and persuasively. Understanding the causal relationships in Scripture was crucial for early Christians as they sought to live out their faith in a complex and often hostile environment.
