   In Matthew 6:6, the accusative singular occurs in the instruction to go in and close the door before praying; the APB renders the setting as a "private room." The dative plural in Luke 12:3 concerns speech made in private and later proclaimed publicly, while in Matthew 24:26 it names rooms where someone is said to be; the APB renders these respectively as "private" and "the inner rooms." In Luke 12:24, the nominative singular is in the ravens comparison, where the APB says they have neither "inner room nor storehouse."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation among "private room," "private," "the inner rooms," and "inner room," with "storehouse" also appearing in the raven comparison of Luke 12:24. These phrases confirm the verses' room-related settings rather than establish separate meanings.
