Prodelos describes something evident in view, whether deeds, sins, or a stated fact.

Across the supplied verses, the term marks what stands openly apparent: some sins precede people to judgment, good works are evident rather than hidden, and a conclusion about the Lord's arising from Judah is presented as evident.

Senses in use

  1. Openly apparent in deeds or stated facts · dominant

    The nominative forms mark matters presented as evident: in 1 Timothy 5:24 the APB renders sins as "conspicuous" before judgment, while in 1 Timothy 5:25 it renders good works as "conspicuous" and contrasts them with what cannot remain hidden. In Hebrews 7:14 the neuter singular introduces the stated conclusion that the Lord has arisen from Judah, which the APB renders "It is obvious."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "conspicuous" for the clauses about sins and good works in 1 Timothy 5:24 and 1 Timothy 5:25, and "obvious" for the conclusion in Hebrews 7:14. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish separate senses.
