Greek word · Strong's G4314

πρός

prós · preposition · “toward, with”

In a sentence

Pros means toward, with, or in relation to. John 1:1 says the Word was «with (pros) God» — face-to-face fellowship, not mere proximity.

Pros means «toward» or «with» — and with a person it can suggest face-to-face relationship rather than just nearness. John 1:1 leans on this: «the Word was pros God,» an eternal relational facing.

The preposition appears thousands of times in the New Testament, often modest but sometimes weighty. Hebrews 5:7 has Jesus offering up prayers «pros him who was able to save him from death» — face turned to the Father.
