In 1 Timothy 5:13, the present middle participle concerns women moving from house to house; the APB renders the clause “going about from house to house.” In Acts 19:13, a present middle participle occurs with Jewish exorcists whom the APB calls “itinerant,” while Hebrews 11:37 uses an aorist active indicative of people who traveled in sheepskins and goatskins amid destitution and ill-treatment; the APB renders “they went about.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the movement with “going about from house to house,” “itinerant,” and “they went about.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall movement rather than assign a precise English equivalent in every instance.
