In 1 Corinthians 4:10, the nominative plural masculine form occurs in a contrast between those described as honored and those described as dishonored. Luke 7:25 places the dative singular masculine form in the clause about clothing and palace life; Luke 13:17 has a dative plural neuter form where the crowd rejoices at the honored things done by him; and Ephesians 5:27 uses an accusative singular feminine form in the presentation of the assembly in splendor.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “honored” in 1 Corinthians 4:10, Luke 7:25, and Luke 13:17, while Ephesians 5:27 presents the assembly “in splendor.” These renderings confirm the verses' overall presentation rather than fixing a separate English equivalent in every clause.
