It serves to connect clauses by indicating the cause or reason for an action or statement. In the New Testament, it is used to provide explanations or justifications for preceding statements.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "καθότι" were essential for constructing complex sentences and conveying nuanced meanings. The use of "καθότι" reflects the logical and rhetorical style of writing prevalent in the Hellenistic period, where authors aimed to clearly articulate reasons and causes within their narratives and teachings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a>, <a href="/greek/3739.htm">hos,</a> and <a
