Behalf
Behalf
be-haf: On the part of (Exo 27:21, i.e. so far as it affects them); on the side of (Job 36:2). For huper, over, in the sense of furnishing assistance, as in 2Co 5:20, in the interest of Christ (2Co 5:21); for our good, in his cause (Phi 1:29); also, often in 2 Cor, in general sense of concerning (2Co 5:12; 2Co 7:4; 2Co 8:24; 2Co 9:2; 2Co 12:5). Huper does not of itself indicate substitution, although one who shelters (is over) another, suffers in his stead (the King James Version 2Co 5:20), as well as in his behalf.

Behalf
“a part,” is translated “behalf” in the AV of 2Co 9:3 (RV, “respect”) and 1Pe 4:16; here the most authentic texts have onoma, “a name;” hence RV, “in this name.” See COAST, CRAFT, PART, PIECE, PORTION, RESPECT, SORT.
“on behalf of,” is to be distinguished from anti, “instead of.” See Note +, p. 9.
