doma denotes something given, whether parental provision, a gift to people, or a contribution sought by another.

The occurrences show doma for something given or provided: parents give to children, a giver gives to people, and a speaker distinguishes seeking a gift from seeking resulting fruit.

    The accusative plural form occurs in Matthew 7:11 and Luke 11:13 in clauses about giving to children; in Ephesians 4:8 it occurs where the APB renders that gifts were given to men. Philippians 4:17 uses the accusative singular in a statement that the speaker does not seek the gift but seeks fruit increasing to an account.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “gifts” in Matthew 7:11, Luke 11:13, and Ephesians 4:8, and “the gift” in Philippians 4:17. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish finer distinctions.
