Prepositional relation before God · dominant
The form is tagged as a preposition in both clauses. In Luke 1:8 the APB renders priestly service as occurring "before God," and in Acts 8:21 it renders the assessment that a heart is "not right before God."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the prepositional relation with "before God" in both Luke 1:8 and Acts 8:21. It does not establish more specific distinctions beyond that shared relation.
