◄ 1355. dioper ►
Strong's Lexicon dioper: therefore, for this reason Original Word: διόπερ Part of Speech: Conjunction Transliteration: dioper Pronunciation: dee-o'-per Phonetic Spelling: (dee-op'-er) Definition: wherefore (emphatically), for which very reason. Meaning: Therefore; for this reason; on account of this. Word Origin: A compound of διό (G1223) meaning "through" or "because of" and περ (an emphatic particle). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διόπερ, as it is a Greek conjunction used to express logical conclusions. However, similar logical connectors in Hebrew might include terms like לָכֵן (lakhen, H3651) meaning "therefore" or עַל־כֵּן (al-ken, H5921) meaning "on account of this," which serve similar functions in connecting statements with causal or logical relationships. Usage: The term διόπερ is used in the New Testament to draw a conclusion or to emphasize a reason or cause. It is often translated as "therefore" or "for this reason," indicating a logical or causal connection between statements. Context: The Greek word διόπερ is a conjunction that serves to connect clauses or sentences, providing a reason or explanation for what has been previously stated. It is a stronger form of διό (G1223), with the addition of the particle περ, which adds emphasis. This word is used to underscore the logical consequence or the rationale behind a statement, often found in theological or doctrinal contexts within the New Testament. In the Berean Standard Bible, διόπερ appears in Romans 15:7: "Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." Here, διόπερ is used to conclude an argument about unity and acceptance among believers, emphasizing that the acceptance of one another is a reflection of Christ's acceptance of us, ultimately glorifying God. The use of διόπερ in the New Testament is relatively rare, but its occurrences are significant for understanding the logical flow of arguments, particularly in the epistles where theological reasoning is often developed. It serves as a bridge between doctrinal teachings and practical exhortations, highlighting the implications of theological truths for Christian living.
