In 2 Timothy 3:10, the dative singular feminine form occurs in the list of things Paul says were followed. The APB renders the list with “my conduct” alongside “my teaching,” “my purpose,” “my faith,” “my patience,” “my love,” and “my perseverance.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Timothy 3:10, the APB presents the item within a list as “my conduct.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than establishing a broader rendering range.
