Usage: ὥσπερ is used in the New Testament to establish a comparison or to illustrate a point by likening one thing to another. It often introduces similes or analogies that help clarify or emphasize a teaching or principle. Context: The Greek adverb ὥσπερ appears in the New Testament as a tool for comparison, often employed by Jesus and the apostles to elucidate spiritual truths through familiar concepts. It serves to bridge the understanding between the known and the unknown, the earthly and the heavenly. For instance, in Matthew 6:29, Jesus uses ὥσπερ to compare the splendor of Solomon to the lilies of the field: "Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these." Here, ὥσπερ highlights the surpassing beauty of God's creation over human achievements.
