It is an emphatic form of ἐπεί, used to stress the causal relationship between two clauses. This word is often employed to set the stage for a narrative or argument by establishing a foundational reason or context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Greek literature and the New Testament, conjunctions like ἐπειδήπερ were crucial for constructing logical arguments and narratives. They helped writers and speakers connect ideas in a coherent and persuasive manner. In the Greco-Roman world, where rhetoric and philosophy were highly valued, the precise use of such conjunctions was essential for effective communication.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1894.htm">epeidé</a> and <a href="/greek/4007.htm">per</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>inasmuch as<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>much (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 1895: ἐπειδήπερ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπειδήπερ</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ἐπειδή</span> <span class="greek2">περ</span> Lachmann), conjunction (from <span class="greek2">ἐπεί</span>, <span class="greek2">δή</span> and <span class="greek2">περ</span>), <span class="accented">seeing that, forasmuch as</span>; Itala and <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">quoniam</span><span class="latin">quidem</span>, <span class="accented">since now</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 448 (417)): <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-1.htm">Luke 1:1</a>.
