Replacing jQuery each with for

I've been using $.each to do iterations for a while now, but I keep on hearing people say to use native JS for to do loops. I'm very concerned about performance but I am not sure if it's always possible to replace $.each with for in a meaningful way.

So my questions are, is it possible to always replace $.each with for, and if not what's the rule of thumb for when it can be done and when it cannot.

I have an each like this:

 $this.find("div.class").each(function (){
  var $thisparent = $(this).parent();

  if (condition) {          
   $(this).prepend($thisparent.text());
  }

  if (condition2) {          
   $(this).prepend($thisparent.text());
  }

 });
