* In addition to the prepositions en and pros (preposition, conjunction, or participle not dealt with in this resource), the following have this meaning:

1: ἀνά

(Strong's #303 3349 — Preposition — ana meson — an-ah' )

lit., "up to the middle of," i.e., among, or in the midst of, hence, between, is used in 1 Corinthians 6:5 , of those in the church able to decide between brother and brother, instead of their going to law with one another in the world's courts.

2: μεταξύ

(Strong's #3342 — Verb — metaxu — met-ax-oo' )

"in the midst, or between" (from meta, and xun, i.e., sun, "with"), is used as a preposition, (a) of mutual relation, Matthew 18:15; Acts 15:9; Romans 2:15 , RV, "one with another," lit., "between one another," for AV, "the meanwhile;" (b) of place, Matthew 23:35; Luke 11:51; 16:26; Acts 12:6; (c) of time, "meanwhile," John 4:31 . In Acts 13:42 , the AV marg. has "in the week between," the literal rendering. See WHILE.

Note: The phrase ek meta (ek, "out of," meta, "with") is translated "between ... and" in the AV of John 3:25 (RV, "on the part of ... with").
