'Sake' in the Bible

The whole imperial guard and everyone else knows that I am in prison for the sake of Christ,

but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.

And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,

for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort -- for the sake of his good pleasure -- is God.
