As (hōs | ὡς | conj) we have said before, and now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel at odds with the one you have already received, let him be accursed.

Now we pray to God that you may not do anything wrong, not that we would appear as having passed the test, but that you may do what is right even though we may appear as (hōs | ὡς | particle) having failed.

I said before when (hōs | ὡς | particle) I was with you the second time, and now, though absent, I say ahead of time to those who have sinned previously and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

I say this to my shame, that in this we have been weak. But as to whatever anyone else dares to boast about — I am talking like a fool — I also dare to boast.

What I am saying, I am not saying according to the Lord, but as (hōs | ὡς | particle) in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

Again I say, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, then at least accept me as (hōs | ὡς | particle) a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

So it is no great surprise if his servants, too, disguise themselves as (hōs | ὡς | particle) servants of righteousness. Their end will be according to their works.

But I am afraid, however, that just as (hōs | ὡς | conj) the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be led astray from the simplicity and purity that is in Christ.

For it is not as (hōs | ὡς | particle) though we had not come to you, over-reaching ourselves, for we did come even as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

I do not want to seem as (hōs | ὡς | particle) though I am trying to frighten you with my letters.
