hosper introduces comparisons, setting one action, condition, or example alongside another.

As a conjunction, it introduces a comparison between actions, conditions, or examples: the comparison may be completed by a corresponding clause, as in 1 Corinthians 15:22, or supply a model or likeness within the statement, as in Matthew 6:2 and Revelation 10:3.

1. Conjunction introducing a comparison or parallel · dominant

   The supplied morphology identifies the form as a conjunction. In 1 Corinthians 15:22 the APB renders a parallel between all dying in Adam and all being made alive in Christ; in Matthew 6:2 it compares the warned-against charitable practice with what hypocrites do, and in Revelation 10:3 it compares a loud cry with a lion's roar.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the comparison with “just as,” often followed by “so also” or another corresponding clause. In some verses it uses “as” or “like”; These are presentations of the clause rather than fixed renderings.
