   2 Timothy 4:12 Thessalonians 2:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB repeatedly uses "appearing" in these verses, including the appearance of Christ’s coming in 2 Thessalonians 2:8. Because the APB translates whole verses rather than aligning each word, these renderings confirm the clauses’ presentation without fixing every nuance of the noun.
