one
tis marks an unspecified person or thing—often anyone, someone, some, or anything—and can introduce a direct question.
The supplied verses most often use tis to leave a person unspecified, whether in a general condition, a warning, or a reference to some people; it also marks an unspecified thing, amount, or kind. In a smaller set of clauses, a neuter form occurs in a direct question.
Senses in use
-
An unspecified person or group · dominant
Singular nominative forms occur in general or conditional statements about an unspecified person: in 1 Corinthians 10:27 the APB renders an unbelieving inviter as “one,” while 1 Corinthians 14:27 and 1 Corinthians 16:22 frame instructions or consequences with “anyone.” Plural forms identify an unspecified subset; in 1 Corinthians 15:12 the APB renders the clause “some among you say,” and in 1 Timothy 5:15 it says “some have already turned aside.”
-
An unspecified thing, amount, or kind · common
Neuter forms occur where the clause concerns an unspecified matter or object. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 the APB renders the scope of action as “do anything,” and in 1 John 5:14 it renders the object of asking as “ask anything.” A genitive neuter form in 1 Corinthians 15:37 occurs in the comparison of seed with “some other kind.”
-
A direct question about a thing · rare
In 1 Corinthians 10:19, the nominative singular neuter form stands in the opening question, which the APB renders, “What then do I assert?” The following alternatives ask whether an idol-offering or an idol is “anything,” keeping the question focused on what may be asserted of them.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB variously uses “one,” “anyone,” “someone,” “some,” and “anything,” and in a direct question uses “What.” Because the APB renders whole verses rather than aligning each term, these are contextual presentations rather than fixed one-for-one renderings.
