  1. God acclaimed in praise and designation · dominant

    The nominative singular masculine form stands with God or the Lord in praise-like clauses: in 1 Peter 1:3 the APB renders, “Praiseworthy is the God and Father,” and in Ephesians 1:3 it introduces the God who has blessed believers. In Luke 1:68 it begins “Blessed be the Lord,” while 2 Corinthians 11:31 and Romans 1:25 place the description beside an affirmation that God is so “forever.” Mark 14:61 uses the genitive singular masculine form in the identifying expression “the son of the Blessed One.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies between “Praiseworthy,” “Blessed be,” “blessed forever,” and “the Blessed One” across the clauses. These are verse-level renderings rather than a fixed word-for-word mapping.
