goneus denotes parents as a family pair or group, whether caring for children, being obeyed, or named within family conflict.

The term consistently identifies parents as a plural family group: they provide for children, receive children’s obedience, speak about their child, and can be named in accounts of family separation or hostility.

1. Parents within family relationships · dominant

   The plural noun names parents in varied family settings: in 2 Corinthians 12:14 the APB renders a contrast between children storing up for parents and parents for children; in Colossians 3:20 and Ephesians 6:1 it addresses children’s obedience. In John 9:20 and John 9:23, the parents answer questions about their son, while Matthew 10:21 names parents as those against whom children may rise.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the term as “parents” in the supplied verses, including family instruction, testimony, and conflict. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, this rendering is confirmed by the surrounding family clauses rather than treated as a precise alignment in every instance.
