    In Mark 10:25, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the clause describing a camel passing through the opening associated with a needle; the APB renders the verse, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of the needle than for a rich person to enter toward the kingdom of God."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Mark 10:25, the APB presents the clause as "through the hole of the needle." This identifies the verse's presentation rather than isolating an exact English equivalent.
