through
| Morphological Notes | Preposition governing the genitive case (Gr,P,,,,,G); here marking means, agency, or passage through. |
| Rendering Rationale | With the genitive case, διά most fundamentally denotes movement or action passing through or being effected by means of an intermediary agency. "Through" preserves this core sense of channel or instrument without importing contextual nuance. |
