    In 1 Corinthians 12:24, the aorist active form occurs where God acts concerning the body; the APB renders the clause, "Yet God has composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it." In Hebrews 4:2, the perfect passive participle describes those for whom hearing was not joined with faith; the APB renders, "not having been united with faith in those who heard."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as God having "composed the body" in 1 Corinthians 12:24 and as being "united with faith" in Hebrews 4:2. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
