    In Ephesians 4:16, the genitive singular form occurs in the clause about the whole body being joined and held together; the APB renders the surrounding phrase "by every joint with which it is supplied." In Colossians 2:19, the genitive plural form appears where the whole body is supplied and held together; the APB renders "by its joints and ligaments."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the body’s connections as "every joint" in Ephesians 4:16 and as "joints and ligaments" in Colossians 2:19. These phrases show the clauses’ presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
