    In 1 Corinthians 10:11, the accusative singular form occurs where events are written as examples for the readers; the APB renders the clause "they were written for our admonition." In Ephesians 6:4, the dative singular form stands with the instruction to nourish children, and in Titus 3:10 the accusative singular form follows "one and a second" before refusal of a schismatic person.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "admonition" in all three verses: for written examples, alongside discipline in nurturing children, and as a first and second step before refusal. This repeated wording confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating every contribution of the term.
