Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν Υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς Αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον → For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

Étymologie: ὡς, περ.

English (Autenrieth)

(ὥς περ): just as, even as; often separated by an intervening <<>*<>>ord, ὡς ἔσεταί περ, Il. 1.211.

English (Strong)

from ὡς and περ; just as, i.e. exactly like: (even, like) as.

English (Thayer)

(cf. Tdf. Proleg., p. 110); from ὡς and the enclitic particle περ, which, "in its usual way, augments and brings out the force of ὡς Klotz ad Devar. 2:2, p. 768; see περ), adverb (from Homer down), just as, even as;
a. in a protasis with a finite verb, and followed by οὕτως or οὕτως καί in the apodosis (cf. Winer's Grammar, §§ 53,5; 60,5): L T Tr (cf. ὡς at the beginning) WH ὡς); L T Tr WH ὡς); L T Tr WH ὡς); ὥσπερ ... ἵνα καί (cf.

Winer's Grammar, § 44,1c.) οὕτως ὡς ἐυλογινα καί μή ὥσπερ etc. 'that your bounty might so be ready as a matter of bounty and not as if' etc. reads ὥσπερ, and even so the example does not strictly belong under this entry); the apodosis which should have been introduced by οὕτως is lacking (Winer s Grammar, § 64,7b.; p. 569 (530); cf. Buttmann, § 151,12,23g.): πάντες ἥμαρτον, prevented him from adding the apodosis, which had it corresponded accurately to the terms of the protasis would have run as follows: οὕτω καί δἰ ἑνός ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη εἰς τόν κόσμον εἰσῆλθε καί διά τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἡ ζωή. Καί οὕτως εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ἡ ζωή διελεύσεται, ἐφ' ᾧ πάντες δικαιωθήσονται; this thought he unfolds in verse 15ff in another form); ὡς, I:4c.)).
b. it stands in close relation to what precedes: L T Tr WH ὡς); L T Tr WH ὡς), L T Tr WH ὡς); ὥσπερ γέγραπται, L T Tr WH; εἰμί ὥσπερ τίς, to be of one's sort or class (not quite identical in meaning with ὡς or ὡσεί τίς, to be like one (cf. Bengel at the passage)), L Tr WH marginal reading ὡς); γίνομαι, ἦχος, but rather as the genitive absolute: just as when a mighty wind blows, i. e. just as a sound is made when a mighty wind blows (R. V. as of the rushing of a mighty wind)); ἔστω σοι ὧπερἐθνικός κτλ., let him be regarded by thee as belonging to the number of etc. Matthew 18:17.
