each
Hekastos marks individuals or items considered separately within a group, in distribution, responsibility, action, or possession.
The term regularly singles out members of a group or individual items as considered separately: people receive, act, answer, give, or are assessed individually, while seeds, trees, days, and body parts are likewise spoken of one by one.

Individuals or items considered separately · dominant
The term identifies separate members within a larger group or set. In 1 Corinthians 12:11 the dative singular form occurs in the clause about the Spirit distributing to individuals; in Acts 4:35 it occurs where distribution is made according to need; and in 1 Corinthians 3:13 it marks the work that will become evident for each person. The same distributive focus extends to items: in 1 Corinthians 15:38 the APB renders the clause about a body given to each kind of seed, and in Luke 6:44 it renders each tree as known by its own fruit.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly uses “each one,” “each,” “every one,” or expressions such as “each of you.” These renderings confirm the clauses' distributive presentation without fixing a separate English equivalent in every instance.
