    The active forms mark completed activity: in Matthew 11:1 the APB renders Jesus as having completed his directions to the disciples, and in Acts 13:29 it renders those involved as having carried out all that was written. The same completion frame covers a race in 2 Timothy 4:7, testimony in Revelation 11:7, and a stated finality in John 19:30; passive forms also place release after the thousand years have reached their end in Revelation 20:7.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses completion language such as "completed," "carried out," "accomplished," and "finished" across these verses. These renderings show the clauses' overall presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for every occurrence.
