Can a prepositional phrase be adverbial?
Posted: February 25th, 2018, 12:40 pm
This is probably a beginner's question, but I was reading 1 Peter 3:7 which says:
Οἱ ἄνδρες ὁμοίως, συνοικοῦντες κατὰ γνῶσιν ὡς ἀσθενεστέρῳ σκεύει τῷ γυναικείῳ, ἀπονέμοντες τιμὴν ὡς καὶ συγκληρονόμοις χάριτος ζωῆς εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐγκόπτεσθαι τὰς προσευχὰς ὑμῶν.
and I was wondering if the prepositional phrase κατὰ γνῶσιν can be considered adverbial i.e. describing the "how" with regard to the verb (participle) συνοικοῦντες. If so, is this kind of usage common in Koine Greek?
