Are there any thoughts out there as to whether KAQAPER in the phrase KAQAPER APO KURIOU PNEUMATOS should be considered causal or should it be considered comparative? Also, does anyone have any thoughts as to whether PNEUMATOS should be considered to be in apposition? I know this may not be as exciting as chasing an elephant but I hope someone might have a thought.

Hi Blue,
Most translations do take it as appositive. I cannot explain why, but
it seems just most sensible.
Any example KAQAPER is used as comparative? To me it does not fit here
in the text.
