So then let us not fall asleep as (hōs | ὡς | conj) others do; rather let us stay awake and be sober.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness, for that day to take you by surprise like (hōs | ὡς | particle) a thief;

for you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come like (hōs | ὡς | particle) a thief by night.

how, as (hōs | ὡς | conj) you know, we treated each one of you as (hōs | ὡς | conj) a father would treat his own children.

You are witnesses, and so is God, how (hōs | ὡς | conj) devout, upright, and blameless was our conduct toward you believers —

Although we could have made demands as (hōs | ὡς | particle) apostles of Christ, we were gentle among you, like (hōs | ὡς | conj) a mother tenderly nursing her own children.

but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to (hōs | ὡς | particle) please man, but God who tests our hearts.

that I may make it known as (hōs | ὡς | conj) I should.

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as (hōs | ὡς | particle) for the Lord, not for men,

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in every regard, not with a view to impressing others, as (hōs | ὡς | particle) people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
