    In 1 Corinthians 4:11, the present active indicative plural form occurs in a first-person plural list of ongoing hardship. The APB renders the clause "we are poorly clothed and buffeted and homeless," placing the term in a condition marked by lack of settled lodging.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Corinthians 4:11, the APB presents the clause as "and homeless." This identifies the verse's presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalent.
