In 1 Corinthians 1:28, the accusative plural neuter form occurs in the list of things God chose, alongside “the lowly things of the world” and “the rejected things”; the APB renders the clause “the things that are not,” set against “the things that are.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Corinthians 1:28, the APB presents the clause as “the things that are not,” within a list of lowly and rejected things. That wording cannot be assigned to the term with certainty.
