R.H. Charles translation:
263 he said to the first, 'How can a man keep himself from pride?'
And he replied, 'If he maintains equality and remembers on all
occasions that he is a man ruling over men. And God brings the proud
to nought, and exalts the meek and humble.'
KAQWS in Acts 15:4 introduces indirect discourse (Danker, Culy/
Parsons) but glossing it as "how" and then saying that this is a
rare meaning (Barrett Acts ICC) seems to me to misconstrue the
evidence. Does it mean "how"? Danker and Culy/Parsons both
translated it "how" but do NOT indicated that "how" is the meaning of
KAQWS. I have no problem with the translation but Barrett identifies
it as meaning of KAQWS which seems dubious at best.
