SIBI-P1 G2531-01
according-as
| Root | καθώς (kathōs) |
| Core Meanings | according as, just as, in accordance with, in proportion as, in the manner that |
| Semantic Range | just as, according as, in the same way that, to the degree that, in conformity with, even as, when (in some contexts of temporal correspondence) |
| Conceptual Significance | καθώς often links divine action and human response, grounding exhortations and theological claims in prior realities (e.g., "according-as" God has acted). It underscores patterned correspondence—believers act in accordance with God's character, Messiah's example, or prior revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable comparative conjunction formed from κατά + ὡς; introduces clauses of comparison, conformity, or proportion. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "according-as" preserves the compound structure of κατά ("according to, down along") and ὡς ("as, in the manner that"), highlighting both correspondence and comparison. As an indeclinable adverb/conjunction (Gr,D), it does not carry tense, voice, case, gender, or number, so the rendering reflects its function of marking manner or standard rather than inflectional features. |
