    In Romans 2:25 and Romans 2:27, the singular noun identifies a person described in relation to the law; the APB renders the clause "if you are a transgressor of the law" and addresses one "who are a transgressor of the law." James 2:9 and James 2:11 likewise apply the noun to partiality and murder, while Galatians 2:18 uses the accusative singular in the statement that rebuilding what was destroyed proves the speaker such a person.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all five verses, the APB presents the noun with "transgressor" or "transgressors," including explicit references to "the law" in Romans 2:25, Romans 2:27, and James 2:11. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolating each form mechanically.
