In Philippians 2:6, the accusative singular masculine noun occurs in the clause about considering equality with God; the APB renders the clause, “did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Philippians 2:6, the APB presents the clause as “a thing to be grasped.” This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
