    In Acts 18:26, the comparative accusative singular neuter form occurs as Priscilla and Aquila explain the Way of God to Apollos; the APB renders the clause "explained the way of God to him more accurately." In Acts 23:15 and Acts 23:20, the form is used of the council's proposed handling of Paul's case and inquiry about him, while Acts 24:22 applies it to Felix's knowledge of the Way; the APB renders these contexts with "more strictly" and "rather accurate knowledge."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies between "more accurately," "more strictly," and "rather accurate knowledge" across these clauses. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
