The Chart shows some of the normal translation of prepositions.  The actual translation of Greek prepositions, in the original text, is dependent upon context and case.

*A very special thanks is due to the late
Dr. Herbert Henry Ehrenstein,
of Philadelphia, for his original work.
Dr. Ehrenstein has many Bible study books on the market,
and has co-authored and edited many of the Donald Grey Barnhouse books.
He was the Barnhouse Bible Teacher for continuing bible studies
in New York City, Boston, and many other locations.
