The form is tagged as a conjunction in all three verses. In 1 Corinthians 11:25 the APB renders the drinking clause "as often as you drink it," and in 1 Corinthians 11:26 it renders the eating-and-drinking clause "as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup." In Revelation 11:6, the APB renders the clause "whenever they desire" in connection with striking the earth with every plague.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the conjunction with "as often as" in 1 Corinthians 11:25 and 1 Corinthians 11:26, and with "whenever" in Revelation 11:6. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
