Senses in use

  1. Brevity in speaking or hearing · dominant

    In Acts 24:4, the adverb occurs in a plea that the hearer receive the speakers' request briefly. In Mark 16:8, the APB renders a brief proclamation of the things commanded to those around Peter.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the adverb with “briefly” in both clauses: a request for a brief hearing in Acts 24:4 and a brief proclamation in Mark 16:8. These renderings confirm the clauses' shared emphasis on brevity rather than isolate every detail of the term's contribution.
