   The form is tagged chiefly as a conjunction and links a clause or phrase to its stated relation. In 1 Corinthians 13:11 the APB renders repeated child comparisons with “like a child”; in 1 Corinthians 7:29 it frames living “as though” one had no wife; and in 1 Corinthians 11:34 it occurs in the setting rendered “when you come together.” The supplied tags also mark it as a preposition in 1 Peter 2:11 and as an adverb in 2 Thessalonians 2:2, while the clauses still present it within relational phrasing rather than as an independently identifiable content word.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the relation with wording such as “as,” “like,” “as though,” and “when,” while some instances are absorbed into the translation’s larger English phrasing.
