   In Acts 27:10, the genitive singular form occurs in a warning that the voyage will involve harm affecting cargo, ship, and lives; in Acts 27:21, the accusative singular form is part of the loss that could have been avoided by not sailing. In Philippians 3:7 and Philippians 3:8, the accusative singular form occurs where prior gains and then all things are regarded as loss; the APB renders those clauses with “loss.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the voyage warnings with “damage” and “loss,” while Philippians 3:7 and Philippians 3:8 use “loss” for what is regarded or suffered. These renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
