meta is a preposition that links people, qualities, or events in association and sequence in the New Testament.

As a preposition, meta connects items in clauses involving association or accompaniment and, in temporal settings, what follows another event: the APB renders such links with “with” in fellowship and presence statements and “after” where an action follows a prior event.

   The supplied morphology identifies the forms as prepositions. In 1 John 1:3 the APB renders fellowship “with” the Father and his Son, while in Acts 10:41 it renders eating and drinking “with” him after his resurrection; in 1 Corinthians 11:25, the clause is rendered “after supper,” showing the same prepositional role in a sequence of events.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the prepositional connection with “with,” as in 1 Corinthians 16:23, and with “after” in temporal clauses such as 1 Corinthians 11:25. These renderings illustrate the clauses rather than assigning a separate English equivalent to every occurrence.
