In Matthew 6:7, the dative singular feminine form occurs in the stated reason that certain people think they will be heard; the APB renders the clause "for they think that they will be heard because of their wordiness."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 6:7, the APB presents the clause with "because of their wordiness." This rendering confirms the verse’s overall contrast rather than isolating every element of the Greek form.
