In Acts 28:15, the accusative singular neuter noun occurs in the report that Paul saw the brothers who had come to meet him; the APB renders the resulting clause, "he gave thanks to God and took courage."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 28:15, the APB presents the clause as "he gave thanks to God and took courage." This shows the verse's presentation rather than a precise word-for-word rendering.
