amerimnos describes being free from anxious concern, whether sought in counsel or promised through persuasion.

Senses in use

  1. Free from anxious concern · dominant

    Both occurrences use the accusative plural masculine form in clauses about removing concern. In 1 Corinthians 7:32 the APB renders Paul's aim as being “free from anxieties,” while Matthew 28:14 presents reassurance after a promise to persuade the ruler and make the hearers “untroubled.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “free from anxieties” in 1 Corinthians 7:32 and “untroubled” in Matthew 28:14. These render the clauses' overall presentation rather than establishing separate meanings.
