It often translates to "that," "because," "since," or "for" in English. In the New Testament, "hoti" is frequently used to introduce direct or indirect speech, to explain reasons for actions or beliefs, and to provide causal connections between statements.Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "hoti" were essential for constructing complex sentences and conveying nuanced meanings. The use of "hoti" reflects the logical and rhetorical style of the period, where explanations and reasons were often explicitly stated to clarify teachings and narratives. This was particularly important in the context of early Christian writings, which aimed to instruct, persuade, and edify diverse audiences.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin conjunction from neut. of <a href="/greek/3748.htm">hostis,</a> Definition that, because NASB Translation because (212), fact (3), how (2), saying (1), since (10), so (1), then (1), though (1), what (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 3754: ὅτι ὅτι (properly neuter of ὅστις), a conjunction (from Homer down) (Latinquod (cf.
