Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὥστε, similar concepts of result or consequence can be found in Hebrew conjunctions such as לְמַעַן (lema'an, meaning "so that" or "in order that") and עַל־כֵּן (al-ken, meaning "therefore" or "thus"). These Hebrew terms serve similar functions in connecting clauses to express purpose or result. Usage: ὥστε is employed in the New Testament to express the result or outcome of an action or situation. It is frequently used to connect clauses, indicating that one action leads to another or that a particular result follows from a preceding statement. Context: The Greek conjunction ὥστε appears in the New Testament as a key term for expressing logical or causal relationships between statements or events. It is a versatile word that can introduce both actual and intended results, depending on the context. In the Berean Standard Bible, ὥστε is often translated as "so that," highlighting its role in indicating purpose or consequence.
