Senses in use

  1. Human persons, individually or collectively · dominant

    The noun identifies people in collective settings: in 1 Corinthians 13:1 the APB renders “the tongues of humans and of angels,” and in 1 Timothy 2:4 it renders God’s desire that “all people” be saved. It also denotes an individual person, as Acts 10:26 renders Peter’s statement, “I myself am a human,” while 1 Corinthians 15:21 places death and resurrection “through a human”; these clauses also show human beings contrasted with angels or God.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB variously uses “human,” “humans,” “people,” “person,” “man,” and “men.” These are presentations of the surrounding clauses rather than fixed one-for-one renderings.
