FOR, preposition [Latin per.; The English, for; to forbid. for corresponds in sense with the Latin pro, as fore does with proe, but pro and proe are probably contracted from prod, proed. The Latin por, in composition, as in porrigo, is probably contracted from porro, Gr. which is the English far. The Gr. are from the same root. The radical sense of for is to go, to pass, to advance, to reach or stretch.]
1. Against; in the place of; as a substitute or equivalent, noting equal value or satisfactory compensation, either in barter and sale, in contract, or in punishment. 'And Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for flocks, and for the cattle of the herds; ' that is, according to the original, he gave them bread against horses like the Gr. Gen 48:17.

Romans
- 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
- 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
- 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
- 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
- 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
- 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
- 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
- 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
- 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
- 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
- 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
- 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
- 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
- 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
- 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
- 5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
- 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
- 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
- 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
- 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
- 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
- 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
- 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
- 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
- 6:21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
- 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
- 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
- 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
- 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
- 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
- 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
- 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
- 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
- 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
- 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
- 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
- 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
- 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
- 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
- 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
- 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
- 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
- 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
- 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
- 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
- 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
- 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
- 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
- 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
