    The form is tagged Conjunction in every occurrence. In Acts 17:31, Acts 2:24, Luke 19:9, and Luke 1:7, the APB renders the following clause as an explanation with “Because” or “because”; in Acts 2:45 and Acts 4:35, it renders the distribution in relation to each person’s need with “according to” and “just as.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause connection with “Because” or “because” in four verses and with “according to” or “just as” in the two distribution statements. These renderings show the verse-level connection rather than a fixed English equivalent.
