It conveys the idea of "as often as" or "whenever," indicating that an action is to be repeated each time a certain condition is met.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "hosakis" reflects the Jewish and early Christian understanding of repeated religious practices and rituals. The concept of repetition in worship and daily life was significant in Jewish tradition, where certain prayers and rituals were performed regularly. In the early Christian community, this understanding carried over into practices such as the Lord's Supper and communal gatherings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb from <a href="/greek/3745.htm">hosos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>as often as<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>often (3).<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 3740: ὁσάκις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁσάκις</span></span> (<span class="greek2">ὅσος</span>), relative adverb, <span class="accented">as often as</span>; with the addition of <span class="greek2">ἄν</span>, <span class="accented">as often soever as,</span> <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/11-25.htm">1 Corinthians 11:25</a>f.
