    Across the occurrences, the noun names a confession that can be made before many witnesses in 1 Timothy 6:12, testified before Pontius Pilate in 1 Timothy 6:13, and connected with submission toward the gospel in 2 Corinthians 9:13. In Hebrews 10:23 and Hebrews 4:14, the APB renders the surrounding exhortation as holding fast the confession; Hebrews 3:1 associates it with Jesus as apostle and high priest.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently uses “confession” in the supplied verses, while varying the surrounding wording: it is confessed, testified, connected with the gospel, and held fast. These phrases describe the verse-level presentation rather than a separate rendering for each form.
