Senses in use

  1. Correspondence with a preceding action or statement · dominant

    Tagged as an adverb in every supplied occurrence, it links what follows to an already stated pattern. In Matthew 21:36 the APB renders that later slaves were treated “likewise” to the first; in 1 Timothy 3:8 and 1 Timothy 3:11 it introduces parallel requirements for servants and women. In Luke 13:5 the APB renders a comparable outcome, while Luke 22:20 presents the cup after supper in correspondence with the preceding account.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the correspondence with “likewise,” but also uses phrases such as “in the same way,” “did likewise,” and “so also.” These renderings show the verse-level comparison rather than supplying a separate meaning for each wording.
