SIBI-P1 G2531-01

according-as

Rootκαθώς (kathōs)
Core Meaningsaccording as, just as, in accordance with, in proportion as, in the manner that
Semantic Rangejust 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 Significanceκαθώς 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 NotesAdverb (Gr,D); indeclinable comparative conjunction formed from κατά + ὡς; introduces clauses of comparison, conformity, or proportion.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
