  1. Comparatively easier to bear in judgment · dominant

    The comparative neuter form occurs in judgments that contrast places: in Luke 10:12 the APB renders Sodom's outcome as "more bearable" than that town's, and in Luke 10:14 it gives Tyre and Sidon the same comparison with "you." Matthew 10:15, Matthew 11:22, and Matthew 11:24 likewise place Sodom and Gomorrah, Tyre and Sidon, or Sodom in a comparison of what will be more bearable on the day of judgment.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all supplied verses, the APB presents the comparison with "more bearable" in statements about judgment. This rendering confirms the clause-level comparison rather than isolating an English equivalent mechanically.
