If you saw a poster saying "Jesse James wanted forrobbery", "for" could mean Jesse is wanted so he can commit arobbery, or is wanted because he has committed a robbery. The latersense is the correct one. So too in this passage, the word "for"signifies an action in the past. Otherwise, it would violate theentire tenor of the NT teaching on salvation by grace and not by works.  Translated Words   KJV (1774) - against, 26; for, 140; in, 138; into, 573; misc, 322; on, 58; to, 281; toward, 29; unto, 207; NAS (158) - about, 1; against, 18; among, 10; become, 5; before, 1; benefit, 1; bestowed, 1; beyond, 2; bring, 1; bring about, 1; continually, 1; eliminated, 2; end, 2; even, 1; ever, 2; forever, 1; forward, 3; leading, 2; leads, 1; mine, 1; never, 1; next, 1; onto, 2; over, 1; perpetually, 1; reference, 2; regard, 3; relation, 1; respect, 2; result, 3; resulted, 2; resulting, 10; sake, 1; so, 34; throughout, 3; toward, 23; until, 4; view, 3; why, 4;  Verse Count KJV NAS   Matthew 197 Mark 133 Luke 206 John 166 Acts 254 Romans 95 1 Corinthians 35 2 Corinthians 63 Galatians 24 Ephesians 30 Philippians 19 Colossians 18 1 Thessalonians 18 2 Thessalonians 12 1 Timothy 18 2 Timothy 14 Titus 2 Philemon 2 Hebrews 63 James 12 1 Peter 35 2 Peter 11 1 John 8 2 John 3 3 John 1 Jude 5 Revelation 69   Matthew 12 Mark 13 Luke 15 John 1 Acts 12 Romans 27 1 Corinthians 6 2 Corinthians 14 Galatians 3 Ephesians 8 Philippians 3 Colossians 1 1 Thessalonians 4 2 Thessalonians 7 2 Timothy 3 Philemon 2 Hebrews 7 James 2 1 Peter 4 2 Peter 1 Revelation 1 Search This Resource   Choose a letter below to browse the alphabetical list: a b g d e z h q  i k l m n c o p  r s t u f x y w   Previous Next eirenopoios heis   Get The Fonts  Download Now!  · Windows Version  · MacIntosh Version  · Linux Version   How to Install …   Buy This Resource Thayer's $12.99  Shop All Greek Lexicons
