    In James 3:6, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the clause about the tongue “setting on fire the course of origin.” The APB’s rendering confirms that the term belongs to the object affected by the tongue’s fire imagery.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In James 3:6 the APB renders the relevant clause as “setting on fire the course of origin.” Its precise English contribution cannot be isolated beyond that clause.
