In Acts 19:36, the accusative singular neuter form occurs in the warning that the hearers should be quiet and not do what the APB renders “nothing reckless.” In 2 Timothy 3:4, the nominative plural masculine form describes people within a list that the APB renders “traitors, reckless, puffed up.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “reckless” in both verses: for an action to be avoided in Acts 19:36 and for people listed in 2 Timothy 3:4. This rendering confirms the clauses' overall presentation rather than establishing a finer distinction.
