In 1 Timothy 5:10, the aorist active indicative singular form occurs in a list of actions by which a woman is to be well attested. The APB renders the clause “shown hospitality,” within a sequence that also mentions bringing up children, washing the feet of the saints, and relieving the afflicted.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 5:10, the APB presents the clause as “shown hospitality.” This wording is treated as the verse's presentation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equivalent.
