It serves to connect a statement with its reason or timing, providing an explanation or context for the preceding or following statement. In the New Testament, it is used to clarify the cause or reason behind an action or event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "epeidé" were essential for constructing logical and coherent arguments. The use of "epeidé" reflects the Greek emphasis on reason and causality, which was a significant aspect of both philosophical discourse and everyday communication in the Hellenistic world. Understanding these conjunctions helps modern readers grasp the logical flow of biblical arguments and narratives.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1894</b> <i>epeidḗ</i> (a conjunction composed of <a href="/greek/1909.htm">1909</a> <i>/epí</i>, "<i>on</i>, fitting"; <a href="/greek/1487.htm">1487</a> <i>/ei</i>, "<i>if</i>", that assumes the premise is <i>factual</i>; and <a href="/greek/1211.htm">1211</a> <i>/dḗ</i>, "indeed") – properly, aptly if indeed, which assumes the preceding is something <i>factual</i> – <i>and emphatically</i> what aptly (predictably) follows.</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>from <a href="/greek/1893.htm">epei</a> and <a href="/greek/1211.htm">dé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>when now, seeing that<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>because (2), since (5), when (1).<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 1894: ἐπειδή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπειδή</span></span>, conjunction (from <span class="greek2">ἐπεί</span> and <span class="greek2">δή</span>), Latin<span class="latin">cum</span><span class="latin">jam</span>, <span class="accented">when now, since now</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 434 (404), 448 (417); Ellicott on <a href="/interlinear/philippians/2-26.htm">Philippians 2:26</a>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> of time; <span class="accented">when now, after that</span>; so once in the N.
