   In Matthew 5:7, the nominative plural masculine form identifies the people called blessed, with the APB rendering the clause “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.” In Hebrews 2:17, the nominative singular masculine form describes the high priest who is made like his brothers and acts in matters pertaining to God; the APB renders him “a merciful and faithful high priest.”
