Senses in use

  1. Destination in stated travel plans · dominant

    In Romans 15:24, the accusative singular form stands in the clause about going into the destination and passing through it; the APB renders, "whenever I go into Spain." In Romans 15:28, it again marks the intended destination after completing a task; the APB renders, "I will go away through you to Spain."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the place name as "Spain" in both verses, within travel plans to go into it or go to it. The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses place the term as the stated destination.
