2. in elliptical formulas (Buttmann, 358 (307); (Winer's Grammar, 585 (544) note)): τί ὅτたうιいおた etc., equivalent to τί ἐσしぐまτたうιいおたνにゅー ὅτたうιいおた (A. V. how is it that), wherefore? Mark 2:16 R G L (others omit τί; cf. 5 below, and see ὅστις, 4); Luke 2:49; Acts 5:4, 9. οおみくろんὐχかい ὅτたうιいおた for οおみくろんὐ λέγω ὅτたうιいおた, our not that, not as though, cf. Buttmann, § 150, 1; (Winer's Grammar, 597 (555)); thus, John 6:46; John 7:22; 2 Corinthians 1:24; 2 Corinthians 3:5; Philippians 3:12; Philippians 4:11. ὅτたうιいおた is used for εいぷしろんἰς ἐκかっぱεいぷしろんῖνにゅーοおみくろん ὅτたうιいおた (in reference to the fact that (English seeing that, in that")): thus in John 2:18; (Meyer (see his note on 1 Corinthians 1:26) would add many other examples, among them John 9:17 (see below)); for ἐνにゅー τούτῳ ὅτたうιいおた, Romans 5:8; for περί τούτου ὅτたうιいおた, concerning this, that: so after λらむだαあるふぁλらむだεいぷしろんῖνにゅー, Mark 1:34; Luke 4:41 (others take ὅτたうιいおた, in these examples and those after διαλογ. which follow in a causal sense; cf. Winer's Grammar, as below (Ellicott on 2 Thessalonians 3:7)); after λέγειν, John 9:17 (see above); after διαλογίζεσθαι, Matthew 16:8; Mark 8:17 (after ἀποστέλλειν σπιστολας, 1 Macc. 12:7). See examples from classic authors in Fritzsche on Matthew, p. 248f; (Meyer, as above; cf. Winer's Grammar, § 53, 8b.).

3. Noteworthy is the attraction, not uncommon, by which the noun that would naturally be the subject of the subjoined clause, is attracted by the verb of the principal clause and becomes its object (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 66, 5; B § 151, 1 a.); as, οおみくろんἴδατε τήν οおみくろんἰκίαν Στεφανᾶ, ὅτたうιいおた ἐσしぐまτたうιいおたνにゅー ἀπαρχή, for οおみくろんἴδατε, ὅτたうιいおた ἡ οおみくろんἰκία Στεφανᾶ, κかっぱτたうλらむだ., 1 Corinthians 16:15; also after εいぷしろんἰδέναι and ἰδでるたεいぷしろんῖνにゅー, Mark 12:34; 1 Thessalonians 2:1; so after other verbs of knowing, declaring, etc.: Matthew 25:24; John 9:8; Acts 3:10; Acts 9:20; 1 Corinthians 3:20; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 17:8, etc.; ὅνにゅー ὑμみゅーεいぷしろんῖς λέγετε ὅτたうιいおた Θεός ὑμみゅーῶνにゅー ἐσしぐまτたうιいおた, for περί οおみくろんὐ (cf. Luke 21:5) ὑμみゅーεいぷしろんῖς λέγετε ὅτたうιいおた, John 8:54.

4. As respects construction, ὅτたうιいおた is joined in the N. T.

a. to the indicative even where the opinion of another is introduced, and therefore according to classical usage the optative should have been used; as, διεστείλατο ... ἵνにゅーαあるふぁ μηδενί εいぷしろんἴπωσιν, ὅτたうιいおた αあるふぁὐτός ἐσしぐまτたうιいおたνにゅー ὁ Χριστός, Matthew 16:20; add, ; , etc.

b. to that subjunctive after ὀυうぷしろんτたう μή which differs scarcely at all from the future (see μή, IV. 2, p. 411a; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 508 (473))): Matthew 5:20; Matthew 26:29 (R G; others omit ὅτたうιいおた); Mark 14:25; Luke 21:32; John 11:56 (where before ὅτたうιいおた supply δでるたοおみくろんκかっぱεいぷしろんῖτたうεいぷしろん, borrowed from the preceding δでるたοおみくろんκかっぱεいぷしろんῖ); but in Romans 3:8 ὅτたうιいおた before ποιήσωμεν (hortatory subjunctive (cf. Winers Grammar, § 41 a. 4 a.; Buttmann, 245 (211))) is recitative (see 5 below), depending on λέγουσι (Winers Grammar, 628 (583); Buttmann, § 141, 3).

c. to the infinitive, by a mingling of two constructions, common even in classic Greek, according to which the writer beginning the construction with ὅτたうιいおた falls into the construction of the accusative with an infinitive: Acts 27:10; cf. Winers Grammar, 339 (318) N. 2; (sec. 63, 2c.; Buttmann, 383 (328)). On the anacoluthon found in 1 Corinthians 12:2, according to the reading ὅτたうιいおた ὅτたうεいぷしろん (which appears in the Sinaiticus manuscript also (and is adopted by L brackets T Tr WH (yet cf. their note))), cf. Buttmann, 383f (328f).

5. ὅτたうιいおた is placed before direct discourse (`recitative' ὅτたうιいおた) (Buttmann,sec. 139, 51; Winer's Grammar, § 65, 3 c.; § 60, 9 (and Moulton's note)): Matthew 2:23(?); ; Mark ( T Tr WH (see 2 above); but see ὅστις, 4); (cf. Buttmann, 237 (204)); Luke 1:61; Luke 2:23; Luke 4:43; Luke 15:27; John 1:20; John 4:17; John 15:25; John 16:17; Acts 15:1; Hebrews 11:18; 1 John 4:20; Revelation 3:17, etc.; most frequently after λέγω, which see II. 1 a., p. 373{a} bottom (Noteworthy is 2 Thessalonians 3:10, cf. Buttmann, § 139, 53.)

II. the reason why anything is said to be or to be done, because, since, for that, for (a causal conjunc.; Latinquod,quia,quom,nam); (on the difference between it and γάρ cf. Westcott, Epistles of John, p. 70);

a. it is added to a speaker's words to show what ground he gives for his opinion; as, μακάριος etc. ὅτたうιいおた, Matthew 5:4-12; Matthew 13:16; Luke 6:20; Luke 14:14; after οおみくろんὐαί, Matthew 11:21; Matthew 23:13-15, 23, 25, 27, 29; Luke 6:24; Luke 10:13; Luke 11:42-44, 46, 52; Jude 1:11; cf. further, Matthew 7:13; Matthew 17:15; Matthew 25:8; Mark 5:9; Mark 9:38 (G Tr marginal reading omit; Tr text brackets the clause); Luke 7:47; Luke 23:40; John 1:30; John 5:27; John 9:16; John 16:9-11, 14, 16 (T Tr WH omit; L brackets the clause); Acts 1:5, and often; — or is added by the narrator, to give the reason for his own opinion: Matthew 2:18; Matthew 9:36; Mark 3:30; Mark 6:34; John 2:25; Acts 1:17; — or, in general, by a teacher, and often in such a way that it relates to his entire statement or views: Matthew 5:43; 1 John 4:18; 2 John 1:7; Revelation 3:10.

b. ὅτたうιいおた makes reference to some word or words that precede or immediately follow it (cf. Winers Grammar, § 23, 5; § 53, 8 b.; Buttmann, § 127, 6); as, διά τたうοおみくろんῦτたうοおみくろん, John 8:47; John 10:17; John 12:39; 1 John 3:1, etc. διά τί; Romans 9:32; 2 Corinthians 11:11. χάριν τίνος; 1 John 3:12. οおみくろんὕτως, Revelation 3:16. ἐνにゅー τούτῳ, 1 John 3:20. ὅτたうιいおた in the protasis, John 1:50(); . It is followed by διά τたうοおみくろんῦτたうοおみくろん, John 15:19. οおみくろんὐχかい ὅτたうιいおた ... ἀλらむだλらむだ' ὅτたうιいおた, not because ... but because, John 6:26; John 12:6.
