In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the deficiency contexts with “lacking” or “lacks,” including “lacks wisdom” and “lacks the daily food.” In Luke 18:22 and Titus 1:5 it instead uses “remains”; These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than fixing a separate English equivalent for every form.
