In 1 Peter 2:23, the imperfect active indicative form occurs in the clause denying a response when he was reviled. The APB renders the clause "he did not revile in return," confirming a retaliatory response to abuse as the setting.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 2:23, the APB presents the clause as "he did not revile in return." This wording confirms the clause's overall retaliatory setting rather than isolating each element of the Greek form.
