alogos describes beings likened to unreasoning animals and an action judged unwarranted in its circumstances.

The plural form describes people by comparison with animals portrayed as unreasoning in 2 Peter 2:12 and Jude 1:10; the singular form marks sending a prisoner without stated charges as unwarranted in Acts 25:27.

1. Unreasoning in an animal comparison · dominant

   In 2 Peter 2:12, the nominative plural neuter form occurs in the comparison of certain people with animals “born to be captured and destroyed” who blaspheme about matters they do not know. In Jude 1:10, the same form again stands in a comparison with animals whose understanding is described as instinctive; the APB renders both clauses with animal language.

   2 Peter 2:12Jude 1:10
2. Judged unwarranted · occasional

   In Acts 25:27, the nominative singular neuter form characterizes sending a prisoner while failing to indicate the charges against him. The APB renders the judgment in that clause as “unreasonable.”

   Acts 25:27

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural occurrences through “irrational animals” and “unreasoning animals,” while Acts 25:27 uses “unreasonable.” These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish exact English equivalents.
