For I have sinned
King | Who was it? Who just coughed a second ago? Is anybody going to tell me who coughed? | |
servant | M-m-e. It was me your majesty! | |
| King | How pathetic of you. Right when I’m in the middle of mind reading you had the nerve to cough? You fool! | |
servant | F... For I have sinned! Your majesty! Please forgive me! |
Q) I was wondering why "for" is added in the underlined part.
What's the difference between with "for" and without "for"?
Top answer
In "Please forgive me, for I have sinned", "for" means "because". Perhaps yours is the same, but with the order reversed. That's the only sense I can make of it.
