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.

Ephesians
- 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
- 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
- 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
- 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
- 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
- 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
- 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
- 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
- 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
- 5:12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
- 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
- 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
- 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
- 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
- 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
- 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
- 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
- 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
- 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
- 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
- 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
- 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
- 6:22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Philippians
- 1:4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
- 1:5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
- 1:7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
- 1:8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
- 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
- 1:19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
- 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
- 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
- 1:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
- 1:25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
- 1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
- 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
- 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
- 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
- 2:18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
- 2:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
- 2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
- 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
- 2:27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
- 2:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
- 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
- 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
- 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
- 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
- 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
- 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
