    In Philippians 3:2, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in a threefold warning. The APB renders the final warning, “watch out for the mutilation,” alongside warnings about “the dogs” and “the evil workers.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Philippians 3:2, the APB presents the term in the final repeated warning as “the mutilation.” This rendering is treated as confirmation of the verse's warning rather than a fuller lexical distinction.
