   The supplied morphology identifies διότι as a conjunction throughout. In 1 Corinthians 15:9 the APB renders Paul's lack of worthiness in connection with his persecution of God's assembly; in Luke 2:7 it connects the placement in a manger with the absence of room; and in James 4:3 it connects unanswered asking with asking wrongly. It also introduces grounds for exhortation or assurance: in 1 Peter 1:16 the APB renders the command to be holy alongside God's holiness, and in Luke 21:28 it links lifting one's heads with redemption drawing near.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly marks the conjunction with “because,” while some clauses are introduced with “for” or “therefore.” These English connectors show the verse-level linkage rather than a fixed token-for-token rendering.
