choris marks an absence, exclusion, or separation in the relationships and conditions described in Scripture.

As a grammatical word, it marks that an action, condition, or relation is stated apart from, independently of, or lacking the accompanying person, thing, or condition named in the clause. The supplied verses use it for exclusion from an action, absence of a required element, and separation in a stated relationship.

1. Preposition marking absence or separation · dominant

   The supplied prepositional occurrences set an action or condition apart from something named in the clause: in John 15:5 the APB renders the clause “apart from me you can do nothing,” while in Hebrews 11:6 it renders “Without faith it is then impossible to please God.” It also frames excluded elements in actions and conditions, as in Philippians 2:14, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing,” and Hebrews 9:22, “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the relation with “without,” “apart from,” and “besides.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall relations rather than assigning a fixed English equivalent to each occurrence.
