prepo describes what accords with an expected standard, especially conduct and teaching appropriate to a stated setting.

The term most often marks conduct, speech, or standards that accord with a stated religious community or profession; it also describes a course of action or provision presented as fitting in relation to righteousness, salvation, or the high priest.

1. Appropriate conduct, teaching, or community standard · dominant

   In 1 Corinthians 11:13, the present participle occurs in the question about a woman praying to God uncovered; the APB renders the clause, “is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?” In 1 Timothy 2:10, Ephesians 5:3, and Titus 2:1, the present indicative form is used with women professing reverence for God, conduct among saints, and speech suited to sound teaching.

2. A fitting course or provision · common

   In Matthew 3:15, the present participle stands in the statement that this way is fitting for fulfilling all righteousness. In Hebrews 2:10 and Hebrews 7:26, the imperfect indicative occurs in statements concerning the fitting perfection of the founder of salvation through sufferings and the fitting possession of such a high priest; the APB renders both clauses with “it was fitting.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “proper” in clauses about prayer, women’s good works, saints, and sound teaching, and with “fitting” in Matthew 3:15 and the Hebrews passages. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings reflect the clauses as a whole.
