For this reason I left you in Crete, so that you might put right the remaining things and appoint elders in every town, as (hōs | ὡς | conj) I directed you —

But they will not progress very far; for their folly will be very clear to all, as (hōs | ὡς | conj) also was the folly of those men.

and their talk will spread like (hōs | ὡς | particle) gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

because of which I am suffering evil even to the point of imprisonment as (hōs | ὡς | particle) a serious criminal, but the word of God is not bound.

Share in suffering as (hōs | ὡς | particle) a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

I continually thank God, whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clean conscience, as (hōs | ὡς | conj) unceasingly I remember you in my prayers night and day,

older women as (hōs | ὡς | particle) mothers, younger women as (hōs | ὡς | particle) sisters with all purity.

Do not rebuke but encourage an older man as (hōs | ὡς | particle) a father, younger men as (hōs | ὡς | particle) brothers,

Do not regard him as (hōs | ὡς | particle) an enemy, but admonish him as (hōs | ὡς | particle) a brother.

not to be quickly shaken out of your wits or disturbed, either by a prophecy or by a spoken word or by a letter purporting (hōs | ὡς | particle) to come from us, to the effect (hōs | ὡς | particle) that the day of the Lord is already here.
