78.52 · Degree · Up To, As Much As, To the Degree That [Marked Extent of Degree]

to the degree that, to the same degree, as much as a degree of correlative extent It is also possible to render this portion of REV 18:7 as ‘to the degree that she glorified herself and lived in luxury, to that same degree give her torment and sorrow.’
Expressions involving correspondence of degrees must often be rather considerably restructured. For example, in the first part of REV 18:7 one may translate in some languages ‘she honored herself very much and lived in great luxury, and so give her very much suffering and grief.’ In the case of HEB 1:4, one may translate ‘God gave his Son a name that was more important than the name of the angels; therefore, God’s Son is greater than the angels.’
