'Reason' in the Bible

I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."

For this reason my Father loves me, because I am laying down my life in order to receive it back again.

The reason he said this was not that he cared for the poor, but that he was a thief, and that being in charge of the money-box, he used to steal what was put into it.

For this reason they were unable to believe--because Isaiah said again,

If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own property. But because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world--for that reason the world hates you.

But this has been so, in order that the saying may be fulfilled which stands written in their Law, 'They have hated me without any reason.'
