    In Hebrews 2:2, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause where every transgression and disobedience received recompense; the APB renders the clause "received its just recompense." In Romans 3:8, the nominative singular neuter form stands in the closing statement about judgment; the APB renders, "Of which the judgment is just."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with "just recompense" in Hebrews 2:2 and "the judgment is just" in Romans 3:8. These renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than a precise token-by-token translation.
