   In James 2:3, the aorist active subjunctive occurs in the contrast between giving attention to the person in shining clothing and addressing the poor man differently; the APB renders the clause “you look upon the one wearing the shining clothing.” In Luke 1:48, the aorist active indicative concerns regard for a female slave’s lowliness, while in Luke 9:38 the aorist active infinitive is requested concerning a son; the APB renders “he has looked upon the lowliness” and “I beg you to look upon my son.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the forms with “look upon” in all three verses, applied respectively to a well-dressed person, lowliness, and a son. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than establish a finer distinction.
