   In 1 Timothy 4:8, the nominative singular feminine form occurs in the clause contrasting training with piety; the APB renders the clause, “Bodily training is of little value.” In Luke 3:22, the dative singular neuter form occurs in the description of the holy Spirit descending; the APB renders “in bodily form like a dove.”
