    In Mark 10:50, the aorist active participle introduces the man's leaving his cloak as he rises and comes to Jesus; the APB renders the clause “throwing off his cloak.” In Hebrews 10:35, the aorist active subjunctive warns against setting aside confidence, and in Romans 13:12 the aorist middle subjunctive calls for setting aside “the works of darkness”; the APB renders both clauses with “throw away.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as “throwing off” in Mark 10:50 and “throw away” in Hebrews 10:35 and Romans 13:12. These are translation renderings of whole clauses.
