   Present indicative forms address or describe people who know stated circumstances: in Acts 10:28 the APB renders, "You know how unlawful it is," and in Acts 20:18, "You yourselves know how" Paul had been with them. The same use also marks knowledge that is absent or limited: in James 4:14 the APB renders, "You do not know what your life of tomorrow will be," while in Hebrews 11:8 Abraham goes out "without knowing where he was going."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with "know" or "knowing," and in some clauses with "understand," such as Mark 14:68 and Jude 1:10. These renderings show the verses' presentation rather than a separate English equivalent in every instance.
