    In Acts 25:17, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the statement that no postponement was made; the APB renders the clause, "I made no delay," before describing action on the next day.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 25:17, the APB presents the clause as "I made no delay." This rendering confirms the verse's contrast with prompt action rather than isolating each word mechanically.
