These Hebrew terms function similarly in providing reasons or explanations within a sentence. Usage: ἐπεί is used in the New Testament to introduce a reason or explanation, often following a statement that requires further clarification or justification. It is typically found in argumentative or explanatory contexts. Context: The Greek conjunction ἐπεί appears in the New Testament as a logical connector, providing the rationale or basis for a preceding statement. It is a compound of "ἐπί" (upon, because of) and "εἰ" (if, since), and it functions to introduce causal clauses. This conjunction is employed to clarify or justify a statement, often in theological or doctrinal discussions.
