In Romans 4:7, the form ἐπεκαλύφθησαν is a third-person plural aorist passive indicative in the clause concerning sins; the APB renders the verse, "Blessed are those whose lawless acts were forgiven and whose sins were covered."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Romans 4:7, the APB presents the relevant clause as "whose sins were covered." This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every aspect of the Greek form.
