    In 1 Timothy 5:4, the accusative plural feminine form occurs in the instruction that children or descendants should act toward their own household and parents. The APB renders the clause “to repay their parents,” confirming the verse’s focus on a return made to parents.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 5:4, the APB presents the clause as “to repay their parents.” This rendering confirms the clause’s overall sense rather than isolating each Greek term.
