Consequently (5105) toigaroun

Consequently (5105) (toigaroun from toi = consequently, this particle strengthening a statement by assuring its reliability + gár = therefore + oun = then, therefore) is a particle which strongly or emphatically introduces an emphatic logical conclusion from the preceding facts. "For that very reason then". "For on this account therefore". This triple compound is draws a conclusion of emphasis. Toigaroun is a strong Greek expression which could be translated something like "Mark you, for this reason, therefore he who rejects..." - Paul proceeds to give another reason why believers should flee sexual immorality. Toigaroun strongly introducing an inference from preceding facts. As as in the only other NT use in Hebrews 12:1 (note) toigaroun directs attention to the conclusion which follows in a more forcible way than do simpler and more frequent words. As Richison observes... A sex life governed by God’s call to holiness is the rationale for his next statements. The nature of the child of God stands in antithesis to the natural urges of the man without Christ. He who rejects - Literally "the one who sets aside", "the rejecter".

1 Thessalonians 4:8

Anyone, then, who rejects [this command] {does} not reject man but God, the very [One who]... gives you His Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 12:1

Therefore, [since] we are surrounded by... such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin [that] so easily entangles, [and] let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
