Senses in use

  1. Remain at a place through winter · dominant

    In 1 Corinthians 16:6, the future first-person singular form occurs in a plan to remain with the recipients; the APB renders the clause “perhaps remain or even spend the winter.” In Acts 27:12 and Titus 3:12, aorist active infinitives concern reaching or coming to a place in order to stay there through winter, while Acts 28:11 uses a perfect active participle for a ship that had already done so at the island.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action with “spend the winter,” “wintering,” “winter there,” and “had wintered.” These phrases confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
