Future lowering in contrast to exaltation · dominant
In Luke 10:15, the future passive singular form addresses Capernaum after the question of being lifted up to heaven; the APB renders the contrasting outcome, "You will be brought down to Hades."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 10:15, the APB presents the clause as "You will be brought down to Hades." This rendering confirms the verse's downward contrast without isolating every element of the Greek.
