    In Luke 7:25, the neuter dative plural form occurs in the statement about people wearing honored clothing and living in self-indulgence; the APB renders the clause, "those who are in honored clothing and self-indulgence are in the palaces."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 7:25, the APB presents the setting with "are in the palaces." This rendering confirms the clause's setting without isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
