   In 1 Thessalonians 1:5, the dative singular form occurs with the gospel coming in power and the Holy Spirit; the APB renders the clause with “much assurance.” In Colossians 2:2, Hebrews 10:22, and Hebrews 6:11, the singular noun is linked respectively with understanding, faith, and hope, as the APB renders “the assurance of the understanding,” “full assurance of faith,” and “the full assurance of hope.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun with “much assurance” in 1 Thessalonians 1:5 and with fuller qualifying phrases tied to understanding, faith, and hope in the other verses. These phrases confirm the clauses' presentation rather than isolate a separate English equivalent in every instance.
