Surpassing in strength and power · dominant
In 2 Peter 2:11, the nominative plural masculine comparative form describes angels in the clause that contrasts their strength and power with their refusal to bring a blasphemous judgment. The APB renders the clause "angels, though greater in strength and power."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Peter 2:11, the APB presents the comparison with "greater in strength and power." This wording confirms the clause's overall comparison rather than isolating each element of the form.
