The supplied morphology primarily labels the form a conjunction, and the clauses show it introducing content after expressions of knowing or declaring: in 1 Corinthians 3:16 the APB renders, “Do you not know that you are God's temple,” and in 1 Corinthians 14:37, “let him acknowledge that what I write to you is of the Lord.” It also joins a statement to an expressed reason, as in 1 Corinthians 16:17, where the APB renders rejoicing “because they have supplied your deficiency,” and 1 Corinthians 11:15, where it gives the reason for long hair as a covering.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously renders the linked clauses with “that,” “because,” and “for,” while some connections are absorbed into the verse’s English phrasing. These renderings show clause relationships rather than a fixed English equivalent.
