Senses in use

  1. A quality of blamelessness and cleansing · dominant

    In 1 Thessalonians 3:13, the dative singular form occurs with hearts being established blameless before God; the APB renders the clause “blameless in holiness.” In 2 Corinthians 7:1, the accusative singular form occurs with cleansing from defilement and bringing this quality to completion, while Romans 1:4 uses the genitive singular form in the phrase the APB renders “the spirit of holiness.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “holiness” in all three verses: for blameless hearts, for completion after cleansing, and in “the spirit of holiness.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate a separate English equivalent in each case.
