καθώς (i. e. καθ' ὡς), a particle found occasionally in secular authors from Aristotle down for the Attic καθά and καθό, but emphatically censured by Phryn. and the Atticists; cf. Sturz, De dial. Maced. etc., p. 74ff; Lob. ad Phryn., p. 425f; (Winer's Grammar, 26 (25)); 1. according as, just as, even as: in the first member of a comparison, Luk_6:31; 1Jn_2:27; followed by οὕτως in the second member (cf.

Winers Grammar, 570 (530); (Buttmann, 386 (331)); ἤρξατο αἰτεῖσθαι (namely, οὕτω ποιεῖν αὐτοῖς), καθώς κτλ.. Mar_15:8 (Buttmann, § 151, 23 b.; cf. Winer's Grammar, 584 (543f)); in comparison by contrary we find the negligent use: ἀγαπῶμεν ἀλληλου, οὐ καθώς Κάϊν κτλ., 1Jn_3:11 f, cf. DeWette at the passage and Winer's Grammar, 623 (579); οὗτος ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ... οὐ καθώς etc., not such as they ate etc., Joh_6:58. with the verb εἰμί, equivalent to Latinqualis, such as, 1Jn_3:2; in a parenthesis, 1Th_2:13 (as it is in truth). 2. according as i. e. in proportion as, in the degree that: Mar_4:33; Act_7:17 (cf. Meyer at the passage); ; 1Co_12:11; 1Co_12:18; 1Pe_4:10. 3. since, seeing that, agreeably to the fact that (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 53, 8; 448 (417)): Joh_17:2; Rom_1:28 (yet here others regard καθώς as corresponsive rather than causal or explanatory); 1Co_1:6; 1Co_5:7; Eph_1:4; Php_1:7. 4. it is put for the simple ὡς, a. after verbs of speaking, in indirect discourse, Act_15:14; it serves to add an epexegesis, 3Jn_1:3 (to σου τῇ ἀλήθεια). b. of time, when, after that (cf. Latinut): 2Ma_1:31; (Neh_5:6); here many bring in Act_7:17; but see 2 above. STRONGS NT 2531a: καθώσπερκαθώσπερ (Tr καθώς περ), just as, exactly as: Heb_5:4 T Tr WH (also 2Co_3:18 WH marginal reading). (Himerius, Psellus, Tzetzes)
