Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from χάρις (charis), meaning "grace" or "favor."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for χάριν, the concept of grace and favor is often represented by the Hebrew word חֵן (chen), Strong's Hebrew 2580, which conveys similar ideas of favor, grace, and kindness in the Old Testament. Usage: In the New Testament, χάριν is typically used to express the reason or purpose behind an action. It is often translated as "for the sake of" or "because of" in English translations. Context: The Greek word χάριν appears in the New Testament as a prepositional phrase, primarily to indicate the reason or purpose behind an action. It is closely related to the concept of grace (χάρις), which is a central theme in Christian theology, emphasizing unmerited favor and divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration and sanctification.
