It is often translated as "for the sake of" or "because of" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to express the motivation or purpose behind an action, often in the context of God's grace or favor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "charis" (grace) was significant in social and religious contexts, often referring to a favor or gift given without expectation of return. The use of "charin" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the unmerited favor and grace of God as the reason for His actions towards humanity.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5484</b> <i>xárin</i> (from <a href="/greek/5485.htm">5485</a> <i>/xáris</i>, "grace") – properly, <i>favor</i> which furnishes the <i>reason</i> to take action (i.e. to be "actionable"); "<i>for this cause</i>," "<i>for the sake of</i>" (<i>R</i>, 647).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>acc. of <a href="/greek/5485.htm">charis</a>, used as preposition<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>in favor of, for the pleasure of<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>because (1), reason (5), sake (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5484: χάριν</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χάριν</span></span>, accusative of the substantive, <span class="greek2">χάρις</span> used absolutely; properly, <span class="accented">in favor of, for lite pleasure of</span>: <span class="greek2">χάριν</span> <span class="greek2">ἑκτορος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Iliad 15, 744, others; 1 Macc. 9:10; Judith 8:19; like the Latin abl.<span class="latin">gratia</span>, it takes on completely the nature of a preposition, and is joined to the genitive, <span class="accented">for, on account of, for the sake of</span>; <a href="/interlinear/galatians/3-19.htm">Galatians 3:19</a> (on which see <span class="greek2">παραβοσις</span>); <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-14.htm">1 Timothy 5:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-11.htm">Titus 1:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-16.htm">Jude 1:16</a>; <span class="greek2">τούτου</span> <span class="greek2">χάριν</span>, <span class="accented">on this account, for this cause,</span> <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-1.htm">Ephesians 3:1</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, mem. 1, 2, 54); <span class="greek2">τούτου</span> <span class="greek2">χάριν</span> <span class="greek2">ἵνα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-14.htm">Ephesians 3:14</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 566 (526)); <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-5.htm">Titus 1:5</a>; <span class="greek2">οὗ</span> <span class="greek2">χάριν</span>, <span class="accented">for which cause,</span> <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-47.htm">Luke 7:47</a>; <span class="greek2">χάριν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>; <span class="accented">for what cause? wherefore?</span> <a href="/interlinear/1_john/3-12.htm">1 John 3:12</a>.
