Authades describes a person marked by self-directed defiance, condemned in both a leadership standard and a denunciation.

The two verses use the term negatively for a self-directed disposition: it is excluded from the conduct required of an overseer in Titus 1:7 and attributed to people who despise lordship and blaspheme glorious ones in 2 Peter 2:10.

1. Self-directed defiance in censured conduct · dominant

   In 2 Peter 2:10, the nominative plural masculine form describes people who despise lordship and blaspheme glorious ones; the APB renders the clause "Bold and self-willed, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones." In Titus 1:7, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the list of qualities an overseer must not have; the APB renders "not self-willed" among the disqualifying traits.

   2 Peter 2:10Titus 1:7

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "self-willed" in both clauses, once describing censured people in 2 Peter 2:10 and once negated in the qualifications for an overseer in Titus 1:7. This rendering is treated as confirmation of the clauses' presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
