A preposition in a word that indicates a relationship between two nouns in a sentence. For example, words such as "on", "in", "at" and "with" are prepositions in English.
In Koine Greek the meaning of a preposition is defined by the case of the noun that it relates to. For example, kata can mean "according to" or "against".
