SIBI-P1 G1752-02

on-account-of (governing the genitive)

Morphological NotesPreposition (PI) taking the genitive case; indeclinable form. It introduces a genitive noun or pronoun to express cause, motive, or reason.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "on-account-of" preserves the core causal sense embedded in ἕνεκα rather than flattening it to the broad English "for." The morphology identifies it as a preposition governing the genitive case, so the rendering explicitly reflects its grammatical function of marking cause or basis with a genitive complement.
