   With the same present active indicative singular form, 1 Corinthians 6:5 asks whether a wise person is present among those addressed; the APB renders, “Is there no wise person among you.” Colossians 3:11 and Galatians 3:28 state the absence of named social distinctions, while James 1:17 states that no variation or turning-caused shadow is present with the father of lights.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause with “there is” and “there is no,” including a question in 1 Corinthians 6:5. These phrases indicate the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
