Thayer's Greek Lexicon
χάριν, accusative of the substantive, χάρις used absolutely; properly, in favor of, for lite pleasure of: χάριν ἑκτορος, Homer, Iliad 15, 744, others; 1Ma 9:10; Jdt 8:19; like the Latin abl.gratia, it takes on completely the nature of a preposition, and is joined to the genitive, for, on account of, for the sake of; Gal 3:19 (on which see παραβοσις); 1Ti 5:14; Tit 1:11; Jud 1:16; τούτου χάριν, on this account, for this cause, Eph 3:1 (Xenophon, mem. 1, 2, 54); τούτου χάριν ἵνα, Eph 3:14 (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 566 (526)); Tit 1:5; οὗ χάριν, for which cause, Luk 7:47; χάριν τίνος; for what cause? wherefore? 1Jn 3:12. Except in 1Jn 3:12, χάριν is everywhere in the N. T. placed after the genitive, as it generally is in secular authors (cf. Passow, under the word, I. 3 a., p. 2416{b}; Herm. ad Vig., p. 701); in the O. T. Apocrypha it is placed sometimes before, sometimes after; cf. Wahl, Clavis Apocr., under the word 6 b.; Grimm on 1Ma 3:29.
