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.

1 Corinthians
- 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
- 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
- 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
- 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
- 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
- 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
- 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
- 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
- 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
- 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
- 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
- 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
- 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
- 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
- 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
- 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
- 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
- 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
- 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
- 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
- 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
- 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
- 4:4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
- 4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
- 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
- 4:9 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
- 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
- 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
- 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
- 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
- 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
- 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
- 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
- 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
- 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
- 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
- 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
- 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
- 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
- 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
- 7:5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
- 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
- 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
- 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
- 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
- 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
- 7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
- 7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
- 7:26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
