   In Acts 27:22, the nominative singular feminine form occurs in the assurance that no life will be lost, while the ship alone is the object of loss; the APB renders the verse, “none of you will suffer loss of life, but only the ship will be lost.” In Romans 11:15, the same form occurs in a conditional statement where “their deprivation” is connected with “the reconciliation of the world” and contrasted with their reception; the APB renders the clause “if their deprivation means the reconciliation of the world.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term’s setting with “loss” and “lost” in Acts 27:22, and with “deprivation” in Romans 11:15. These render the respective clauses rather than establish separate lexical senses.
