Senses in use

  1. Marking correspondence with a prior action or statement · dominant

    The adverb ὁμοίως introduces a person, action, or result as corresponding to what precedes. In 1 Corinthians 7:3 the APB renders parallel obligations of husband and wife, while John 5:19 renders the Son's actions in correspondence with what the Father does; Hebrews 9:21 similarly places the sprinkling of the tent and vessels alongside the prior action. Luke 10:37 applies the comparison as an instruction to act in the manner of the merciful person.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the comparison with “likewise,” “similarly,” “in the same way,” or “do the same.” These renderings show the verse-level comparison, but the translation does not align a particular English word mechanically with the Greek adverb.
