Apokaradokia is an expectant outlook directed toward a hoped-for outcome, whether personal vindication or creation's awaited revelation.

The two occurrences show an expectant outlook fixed on what is awaited: personal freedom from shame and Christ's magnification in Philippians 1:20, and creation's waiting for the revelation of God's sons in Romans 8:19.

   In Philippians 1:20, the accusative singular form stands with hope as the speaker anticipates not being put to shame and Christ being magnified in his body. In Romans 8:19, the nominative singular form is attributed to creation as it waits for the revelation of the sons of God; the APB renders both clauses with "eager expectation."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "eager expectation" in both Philippians 1:20 and Romans 8:19. This repeated wording confirms the verses' overall presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the Greek noun.
