AI Summary
Through is the basic sense of διά when it governs the genitive case. It covers physical motion through a place, extension over or within a period of time (during which, within which, or after which something happens), and the means or agent by which something is done 134. So it is used of moving through a location, of seeing through a mirror, of being saved through water or fire, of an action lasting throughout a period or occurring after an interval, and of something being brought about through a person acting as an intermediary (such as a message given through a prophet) or through a thing such as faith, a word, or a parable 13. It is also used of God or Christ as the one through whom all things exist or are done 1. Strong's describes this as "the channel of an act" and notes that it can be rendered by many different English words such as "by," "for," "from," "of," or "throughout," depending on context 2.
Because of / on account of / for the sake of is the sense διά takes when it governs the accusative case, expressing the reason, cause, or purpose behind something rather than the means 1234. This covers phrases such as "because of envy," "because of fear," "on account of this" (therefore), and "why" (literally, because of what) 1. It can also be used of a person for whose sake or by whose agency something happens 3.
As a prefix attached to other Greek words, διά also contributes senses such as passing right through, separation apart, distribution abroad, change from one state to another, or bringing an action to completion 13.
