e. with the accusative of the person toward (German nach einem hin), but in sense nearly equivalent to the simple dative to, unto, after verbs of approving, manifesting, showing oneself: ἀποδεδειγμένος εいぷしろんἰς ὑμみゅーᾶς, Acts 2:22; ἔνδειξιν ἐνδείκνυσθαι, 2 Corinthians 8:24; φανερωθέντες εいぷしろんἰς ὑμみゅーᾶς, 2 Corinthians 11:6 (L T Tr WH φανερώσαντες namely, τήν γがんまνにゅーῶσしぐまιいおたνにゅー).

3. it denotes the end; and a. the end to which a thing reaches or extends, i. e. measure or degree: (ἔφερεν εいぷしろんἰς τριάκοντα, Mark 4:8 T Tr text WH; cf. Buttmann, 80 (27); Liddell and Scott, under the word, A. III. 2); εいぷしろんἰς τά ἄμετρα, 2 Corinthians 10:13; εいぷしろんἰς περισσείαν, 2 Corinthians 10:15; εいぷしろんἰς ὑπερβολήν (often in Greek writings, as Euripides, Hipp. 939; Aeschines f. leg. § 4), 2 Corinthians 4:17. of the limit: εいぷしろんἰς τό σωφρονεῖνにゅー, unto moderation, modesty, i. e. not beyond it, Romans 12:3.

b. the end which a thing is adapted to attain (a use akin to that in B. II. 2 b.; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 213 (200))): ἀργός καί ἄκαρπος εいぷしろんἰς τί, 2 Peter 1:8; ἐυρηετος, Luke 9:62 R G; (); εいぷしろんὔχρηστος, 2 Timothy 4:11; χρήσιμος, 2 Timothy 2:14 R G, δυναμουμενος, Colossians 1:11; θεοδίδακτος, 1 Thessalonians 4:9; βραδύς, James 1:19; σοφός, Revelation 16:19; φふぁいῶς εいぷしろんἰς ἀποκάλυψιν, Luke 2:32; δύναμις εいぷしろんἰς etc. Romans 1:16; Hebrews 11:11; ἀναγενναν εいぷしろんἰς, 1 Peter 1:3f; ἀνακαινόω, Colossians 3:10; σοφίζειν τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς, 2 Timothy 3:15; ἰσχύειν εいぷしろんἰς, Matthew 5:13.

c. the end which one has in view, i. e. object, purpose;

a. associated with other prepositions (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 50, 5): ἐκかっぱ πίστεως εいぷしろんἰς πίστιν, to produce faith Revelation 1:17, cf. Fritzsche, Meyer, Van Hengel, at the passage; ἐξくしー αあるふぁὐτたうοおみくろんῦ καί δでるたἰ αあるふぁὐτたうοおみくろんῦ καί εいぷしろんἰς αあるふぁὐτόν, answering to his purposes (the final cause), Romans 11:36; ἐξくしー οおみくろんὗ τά πάντα καί ἡμみゅーεいぷしろんῖς εいぷしろんἰς αあるふぁὐτόν, 1 Corinthians 8:6; δでるたἰ αあるふぁὐτたうοおみくろんῦ καί εいぷしろんἰς αあるふぁὐτόν (see διά, A. III. 2 b. under the end), Colossians 1:16; δでるたἰ αあるふぁὐτたうοおみくろんῦ εいぷしろんἰς αあるふぁὐτόν, Colossians 1:20. βべーた. shorter phrases: εいぷしろんἰς τたうοおみくろんῦτたうοおみくろん, to this end, Mark 1:38; (Luke 4:43 R G Tr marginal reading); εいぷしろんἰς αあるふぁὐτό τたうοおみくろんῦτたうοおみくろん (R.

b. aa.); παιδαγωγός εいぷしろんἰς τόν Χριστόν, Galatians 3:24; συγκεκλεισμένοι εいぷしろんἰς τήν πίστιν, that we might the more readily embrace the faith when its time should come, Galatians 3:23; φρουρούμενοι εいぷしろんἰς τήν σωτηρίαν, that future salvation may be yours, 1 Peter 1:5; ἀγοράζειν εいぷしろんἰς τήν ἑορτήν, John 13:29; εいぷしろんἰς ὄλεθρον σαρκός, 1 Corinthians 5:5; εいぷしろんἰς τήν ἡμετέραν διδασκαλίαν, Revelation 15:4, and in many other examples especially after verbs of appointing, choosing, preparing, doing, coming, sending, etc.: κかっぱεいぷしろんῖμみゅーαあるふぁιいおた, Luke 2:34; Philippians 1:17 (16); 1 Thessalonians 3:3; τたうαあるふぁσしぐまσしぐまοおみくろん, 1 Corinthians 16:15; τάσσομαι, Acts 13:48; ἀφορίζω, Revelation 1:1; Acts 13:2; πρωρίζω, Ephesians 1:5; 1 Corinthians 2:7; ἁιρέομαι, 2 Thessalonians 2:13; τίθεμαι, 1 Timothy 1:12; 1 Peter 2:8; καταρτίζω, Romans 9:22f; ἀποστέλλω, Hebrews 1:14; πέμπω, 1 Thessalonians 3:2, 5; Colossians 4:8; Philippians 4:16 (L brackets εいぷしろんἰς); 1 Peter 2:14; ἔρχομαι, John 9:39; πぱいοおみくろんιいおたεいぷしろんῖνにゅー τί εいぷしろんἰς, 1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Corinthians 11:24. Modeled after the Hebrew are the phrases, ἐγείρειν τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς βασιλέα, to be king, Acts 13:22; ἀνατρέφεσθαι τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς υうぷしろんἱόν, Acts 7:21; τέθεικά σしぐまεいぷしろん εいぷしろんἰς φふぁいῶς ἐθしーたνにゅーῶνにゅー, Acts 13:47 (from Isaiah 49:6 Alex.); cf. Gesenius, Lehrgeb., p. 814; Buttmann, 150 (131); (Winer's Grammar, § 32, 4b.). δでるた. εいぷしろんἰς τί, indicating purpose, often depends not on anyone preceding word with which it coalesces into a single phrase, but has the force of a telic clause added to the already complete preceding statement; thus, εいぷしろんἰς δόξαν τたうοおみくろんῦ Θしーたεいぷしろんοおみくろんῦ, Romans 15:7; Philippians 1:11; Philippians 2:11; εいぷしろんἰς φόβον, that ye should fear, Romans 8:15; εいぷしろんἰς ἔνδειξιν, that he might show, Romans 3:25; εいぷしろんἰς ζωήν, to procure eternal life (namely, for those mentioned), John 4:14; John 6:27 (in which passages the phrase is by many interpretations (e. g. DeWette, Meyer, Lange; cf. Winer's Grammar, 397 (371) note) incorrectly joined with ά῾λλεσθαι and μένειν (cf. Thol., Luthardt, others)); Romans 5:21; 1 Timothy 1:16; Jude 1:21; add, Matthew 8:4; Matthew 27:7; Mark 6:11; Acts 11:18; Romans 10:4; Philippians 1:25; Philippians 2:16; 2 Timothy 2:25; Revelation 22:2, etc. εいぷしろん. εいぷしろんἰς τό followed by an infinitive, a favorite construction with Paul (cf. Buttmann, 264f (227f); Harmsen in the Zeitschr. f. wissensch. Theol. for 1874, pp. 345-360), is like the Latinad with the gerundive. It is of two kinds; either αあるふぁαあるふぁ. εいぷしろんἰς τό combines with the verb on which it depends into a single sentence, as παραδώσουσιν αあるふぁὐτόν ... εいぷしろんἰς τό ἐμπαῖξくしーαあるふぁιいおた (Vulg.ad deludendum), Matthew 20:19; εいぷしろんἰς τό σταυρωθῆνにゅーαあるふぁιいおた, Matthew 26:2; οおみくろんἰκοδομηθήσεται εいぷしろんἰς τό τά εいぷしろんἰδωλόθυτα ἐσθίειν (Vulg.aedificabitur ad manducandum idolothyta), 1 Corinthians 8:10; μή οおみくろんἰκίας οおみくろんὐκかっぱ ἔχετε εいぷしろんἰς τό ἐσθίειν καί πίνειν, 1 Corinthians 11:22; εいぷしろんἰς τό προσφέρειν δでるたῶρろーαあるふぁ τέ καί θυσίας καθίσταται (Vulg.ad offerenda munera et hostias), Hebrews 8:3; add, Hebrews 9:28; 1 Thessalonians 2:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; Philippians 1:23; or βべーたβべーた. εいぷしろんἰς τό with the infinitive has the force of a separate telic clause (equivalent to ἵνにゅーαあるふぁ with the subjunctive) (Meyer (on Romans 1:20) asserts that this is its uniform force, at least in Romans (cf. his note on 2 Corinthians 8:6); on the other hand, Harmsen (u. s.) denies the telic force of εいぷしろんἰς τό before an infinitive present; cf. also Winers Grammar, 329 (309); especially Buttmann, as above and p. 265 note; Ellicott on 1 Thessalonians 2:12; and see below,

d. at the end): Luke 20:20 R G; Acts 3:19 (T WH πρός); Romans 1:11; Romans 4:16, 18; Romans 11:11; Romans 12:2; Romans 15:8, 13; 1 Corinthians 9:18; 1 Corinthians 10:6; Galatians 3:17; Ephesians 1:12, 18; 1 Thessalonians 2:12, 16; 1 Thessalonians 3:5; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 2:2, 10; James 1:18; Hebrews 2:17; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 9:14, 28; Hebrews 12:10; Hebrews 13:21; εいぷしろんἰς τό μή, lest, 2 Corinthians 4:4; 1 Peter 3:7.

d. the end by which a thing is completed, i. e. the result or effect: Acts 10:4; Revelation 6:19 (εいぷしろんἰς τήν ἀνομίαν (but WH brackets), so that iniquity was the result); Revelation 10:10; Revelation 13:14; 1 Corinthians 11:17; 2 Corinthians 2:16; Ephesians 5:2, etc.; εいぷしろんἰς τό with an infinitive so that (cf. βべーたβべーた. above): Romans 1:20; 2 Corinthians 8:6.

C. Constructions that are peculiar in some respects.

1. Various forms of pregnant and brachylogical construction (Winers Grammar, § 66, 2; (less fully, Buttmann, 327 (282)); Bernhardy (1829), p. 348f): σしぐまῴζぜーたεいぷしろんιいおたνにゅー τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς etc. to save by translating into etc. 2 Timothy 4:18 (see σしぐまῴζぜーたωおめが, b. under the end); διασώζειν, 1 Peter 3:20 (the Sept. Genesis 19:19, and often in Greek writings); μισθουσθαι ἐργάτας εいぷしろんἰς τήν ἀμπελῶνにゅーαあるふぁ, to go into etc. Matthew 20:1; ἐλευθερουν εいぷしろんἰς etc. Romans 8:21; ἀποδιδόναι τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς Αあるふぁἴγυπτον, Acts 7:9; ἔνοχος εいぷしろんἰς γがんまηいーたνにゅーνにゅーαあるふぁνにゅー, to depart into etc. (cf. Buttmann, 170 (148) note), Matthew 5:22; κかっぱλらむだαあるふぁνにゅー εいぷしろんἰς τινας, to break and distribute among etc. Mark 8:19; ἀσφαλίζεσθαι εいぷしろんἰς τό ξύλον, Acts 16:24; κかっぱτたうᾶσθαι χρυσόν εいぷしろんἰς τάς ζώνας, Matthew 10:9; ἐντετυλιγμένον εいぷしろんἰς ἕνにゅーαあるふぁ τόπον, rolled up and laid away in etc. John 20:7.

2. Akin to this is the very common use of εいぷしろんἰς after verbs signifying rest or continuance in a place, because the idea of a previous motion into the place spoken of is involved (cf. Winers Grammar, § 50, 4b.; Buttmann, 332f (286f); Kühner, ii., p. 317; (Jelf, § 646, 1); Bernhardy (1829), p. 215; (yet cf. also examples in Sophocles' Lexicon, under the word εいぷしろんἰς, 1)): ὑρεθη εいぷしろんἰς Ἄζωτον, namely, transferred or carried off to, Acts 8:40, cf. Acts 8:39 πぱいνにゅーεいぷしろんῦμみゅーαあるふぁ κυρίου ἥρπασε τόν Φίλιππον (Esther 1:5, τたうοおみくろんῖς ἔθνεσι τたうοおみくろんῖς εいぷしろんὑρεθεῖσしぐまιいおたνにゅー εいぷしろんἰς τό πόλιν; so φふぁいαあるふぁνにゅーεいぷしろんῖσθαι is followed by εいぷしろんἰς in 2 Macc. 1:33 2Macc. 7:22). δでるたεいぷしろんῖ μみゅーεいぷしろん τήν ἑορτήν πぱいοおみくろんιいおたῆσしぐまαあるふぁιいおた εいぷしろんἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, namely, by going, Acts 18:21 Rec.; likewise ἑτοίμως ἔχかいωおめが ἀποθανεῖνにゅー εいぷしろんἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, Acts 21:13 (ἡφαιστιων εいぷしろんἰς Ἐκβάτανα ἀπέθανε, Aelian v. h. 7, 8); συνέβαλεν ἡμみゅーῖνにゅー εいぷしろんἰς Αあるふぁσしぐまσしぐまοおみくろんνにゅー, Acts 20:14; ἡ μελλουσα δόξα εいぷしろんἰς ἡμみゅーᾶς ἀποκαλυφθῆνにゅーαあるふぁιいおた, which shall be revealed (and conferred) on us, Romans 8:18.κατοικεῖνにゅー εいぷしろんἰς πόλιν, εいぷしろんἰς γがんまῆνにゅー, to come into a city and dwell there, Matthew 2:23; Matthew 4:13; Acts 7:4 (cf. Numbers 35:33; 2 Chronicles 19:4 etc.); also παροικεῖνにゅー, Hebrews 11:9 (ἐνοικεῖνにゅー, Xenophon, an. 1, 2, 24); σしぐまτたうῆνにゅーαあるふぁιいおた, ἑστηκεναι (because it is nearly equivalent to to have placed oneself) εいぷしろんἰς τί, Luke 6:8; John 20:19, 26; 1 Peter 5:12; κかっぱαあるふぁθしーたῆσθαι, to have gone unto a place and to be sitting there, Mark 13:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (on this use of these two verbs in Greek authors cf. Matthiae, ii., p. 1344f; (cf. Winers Grammar, and Buttmann, as above)). εいぷしろんἶνにゅーαあるふぁιいおた εいぷしろんἰς with the accusative of place see εいぷしろんἰμί, V. 2 a.; οおみくろんἱ εいぷしろんἰς τόν οおみくろんἶκかっぱοおみくろんνにゅー μみゅーοおみくろんυうぷしろん namely, ὄντες, Luke 9:61; τたうοおみくろんῖς εいぷしろんἰς μακράν namely, οおみくろんὖσしぐまιいおた (German ins Ferne hin befindlich), Acts 2:39. συνάγεσθαι followed by εいぷしろんἰς with the accusative of place: to go to a place and assemble there, Matthew 26:3 and Acts 4:5 R T, (1 Esdr. 5:46 (); ). Sometimes a word implying motion, occurring in the same sentence, seems to have occasioned the connection of a verb of rest with εいぷしろんἰς, as it were by a kind of attraction (Buttmann, as above): ἐξερχόμενος ηいーたὐλίζετο εいぷしろんἰς τό ὄρος, Luke 21:37; ἀκούσας ... ὄνにゅーτたうαあるふぁ σιτία εいぷしろんἰς Αあるふぁἴγυπτον (Rec. σしぐまῖτたうαあるふぁ ἐνにゅー Αあるふぁἴγυπτον.) ἐξαπέστειλεν etc. Acts 7:12; παραδώσουσιν ὑμみゅーᾶς εいぷしろんἰς συνέδρια καί εいぷしろんἰς συναγωγάς δααρησεσθε, Mark 13:9 (Winers Grammar, 416 (387), Buttmann, 333 (287)); ὕπαγε, νίψαι (but L brackets) εいぷしろんἰς τήν κολυμβήθραν, John 9:7, although νίπτεσθαι εいぷしろんἰς τί can also be used (as λούεσθαι εいぷしろんἰς τό βαλανεῖοおみくろんνにゅー, Alciphron, epistles 3, 43; εいぷしろんἰς λουτρωνας, Athen. 10, p. 438 e.; λούειν τたうιいおたνにゅーαあるふぁ εいぷしろんἰς σκάφην, Epictetus diss. 3, 22, 71), since the water with which one bathes flows down into the pool. Cf. Beyer, De praepositt. εいぷしろんἰς; et ἐνにゅー in N. T. permutatione. Lipsius 1824, 4to.

D. Adverbial phrases (cf. Matthiae, § 578 d.): εいぷしろんἰς τέλος (see τέλος 1 a.); εいぷしろんἰς τό πάλιν, see A. II 2 above; εいぷしろんἰς τό παντελές, perfectly, utterly, Luke 13:11 (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 51, 1 c.); εいぷしろんἰς κενόν (see κενός, 3); εいぷしろんἰς ὑπάντησιν and εいぷしろんἰς ἀπάντησιν, see each substantive. In composition εいぷしろんἰς is equivalent to the Latinin andad.

against, among, as, at, backward, before

A primary preposition; to or into (indicating the point reached or entered), of place, time, or (figuratively) purpose (result, etc.); also in adverbial phrases -- (abundant-)ly, against, among, as, at, (back-)ward, before, by, concerning, + continual, + far more exceeding, for (intent, purpose), fore, + forth, in (among, at, unto, -so much that, -to), to the intent that, + of one mind, + never, of, (up-)on, + perish, + set at one again, (so) that, therefore(-unto), throughout, til, to (be, the end, -ward), (here-)until(-to),...ward, (where-)fore, with. Often used in composition with the same general import, but only with verbs (etc.) Expressing motion (literally or figuratively).
