on account of, for the sake of
1. on account of, for the sake of A causal preposition meaning 'on account of, for the sake of, because of,' used to express the reason or purpose behind an action, particularly in the context of suffering for Christ's sake (Matt 5:10-11, 19:29; Luke 6:22), the gospel (Mark 10:29), or righteousness. Both clusters represent the same prepositional function with no semantic distinction: S67191 covers 24 occurrences and S67194 covers 2, all rendered identically across languages. Spanish 'por causa de/causa,' Hindi 'के–कारण/वास्ते,' Arabic 'مِنْ أَجْلِ/لِأَجْلِ,' Korean '~때문에,' Swahili 'kwa sababu ya/kwa sababu' all confirm a single causal/purposive sense. 26×
