Senses in use

  1. Intercession in prayer and sanctification contexts · dominant

    In 1 Timothy 2:1, the accusative plural form occurs in the list of acts urged to be made for all people; the APB renders that list "petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings." In 1 Timothy 4:5, the genitive singular form occurs in the statement that something is sanctified through the word of God and through intercession; the APB renders the closing phrase "through intercession."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "intercessions" in 1 Timothy 2:1 and "intercession" in 1 Timothy 4:5. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish finer distinctions.
