    In 1 Peter 1:19, the genitive singular masculine form characterizes the lamb imagery connected with Christ’s blood; the APB renders the clause as a lamb “without blemish or spot.” In 1 Timothy 6:14 it qualifies the commandment to be kept, while James 1:27 places it in the instruction to keep oneself from the world, and 2 Peter 3:14 describes those eager to be found in peace; the APB presents these clauses with language of being unblemished, pure and undefiled, and blameless.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses several expressions across these clauses, including “without blemish or spot,” “unblemished,” and “pure and undefiled.” These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than fixed renderings of the adjective.
