Thanks Elizabeth and George
 
I am probably a novice enough that I try to categorize everything.  However, I cannot find a source that allows KAQWS to indicate what it is being used for here.  There are several sources that refer to cause, comparison, 'even as', 'according to'. 
 
I understand that something can reflect two ideas, but how can it reflect one that is not attested to?  It appears that the commentators who take this position, use the lexical definitions, then add the idea that these define the 'spiritual blessings'.  I am looking for their justifications.  Hoehner points to the commentary by Charles Ellicott, but does not quote him.
 
Elizabeth,  what does Eadie mean by modal?
