   In Hebrews 7:26, the nominative singular form characterizes the high priest in a clause that also calls him holy, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; the APB renders the description “innocent.” In Romans 16:18, the genitive plural form identifies the innocent people whose hearts are deceived by smooth talk and praise; the APB again renders the clause with “the innocent.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “innocent” in both supplied verses, once within the high priest’s description and once for those whose hearts are deceived. This repeated wording is treated as confirmation of the verse contexts rather than a precise lexical mapping.
