It often translates to "as" or "just as" in English, indicating a manner or degree that is similar or equivalent to something else. It is used to draw parallels or to show that something is done in accordance with a particular way or standard.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "katha" is used to connect teachings, actions, or events to a standard or example, often rooted in the teachings of Jesus or the traditions of the early church. The use of "katha" reflects the Jewish and Greco-Roman emphasis on imitation and adherence to established norms or examples, which was a common pedagogical method in ancient times.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/3739.htm">hos,</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>according to which. <p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2505: καθά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καθά</span></span>, adverb for <span class="greek2">καθ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἅ</span>, <span class="accented">according as, just as</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-10.htm">Matthew 27:10</a>.
