    In Jude 1:7, the accusative singular neuter δεῖγμα occurs in the clause describing Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities as set forth while undergoing eternal-fire punishment. The APB renders the clause "are set forth as an example," presenting these cities as the displayed case within the verse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jude 1:7, the APB renders the clause "are set forth as an example." This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
