a-genst (, kata; , enanton; , pros): Preposition expressing contrast. When used of direction, equivalent to toward (Mat 10:35; Mat 12:14, etc.); when of position, meaning opposite, facing, in front of (1Ki 7:5; Gen 15:10, Rom 8:31); when of action, opposed to (Mat 5:11; Mat 26:59; 1Co 4:6); in resistance to (Heb 12:4); provision for (Greek eis, literally, unto, toward (1Ti 6:19). Sometimes also applied to what breaks an established order as customs (Act 28:17), nature (Rom 1:26). Peculiar shades of meaning may be traced by careful examination of the variety of prepositions in Hebrew and Greek employed in the Scriptures, that are translated into English by this one word.
