In 2 Corinthians 11:25, the dative singular masculine form occurs in the clause describing a night and a day spent there after the speaker recounts being shipwrecked three times. The APB renders the clause, "a night and a day I have spent in the deep."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Corinthians 11:25, the APB presents the term in the clause "I have spent in the deep." This rendering confirms the clause's setting without establishing finer nuance.
