STRONGS G874:
ἀφορμή, -ῆς, ἡ, (ἀπό and ὁρμή which see);

2. metaphorically, that by which endeavor is excited and from which it goes forth; that which gives occasion and supplies matter for an undertaking, the incentive; the resources we avail ourselves of in attempting or performing anything: Xenophon, mem. 3, 12, 4 (τοῖς ἑαυτῶν παισὶ καλλίους ἀφορμὰς εἰς τὸν βίον καταλείπουσι), and often in Greek writings; λαμβάνειν, to take occasion, find an incentive, Romans 7:8, 11 διδόναι, 2 Corinthians 5:12; 1 Timothy 5:14 (3 Macc. 3:2; both phrases often also in Greek writings); 2 Corinthians 11:12; Galatians 5:13.
