Senses in use

  1. Having children in an urged course of conduct · dominant

    In 1 Timothy 5:14, the present active infinitive occurs among the actions desired for younger widows, alongside marrying and managing households; the APB renders the sequence “marry, bear children, manage their households.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Timothy 5:14, the APB presents the action as “bear children” within a list of desired conduct. This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
