The nominative neuter forms occur in evaluative clauses: in 1 Corinthians 11:6 the APB renders the issue as being shorn or shaved, in 1 Corinthians 14:35 as speaking in the assembly, and in Ephesians 5:12 as speaking of deeds done in secret. The genitive neuter form in Titus 1:11 occurs in the clause about teaching for gain; the APB renders this as “for the sake of shameful gain.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB explicitly uses “shameful” in each verse, applying it to actions, speech, secret deeds, and gain. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall evaluation rather than isolate every grammatical contribution of the term.
