Senses in use

  1. Indulgent luxury and reveling · dominant

    In 2 Peter 2:13, the accusative singular form occurs where the people “count it pleasure to revel in the daytime”; the APB presents them as reveling while they feast. In Luke 7:25, the dative singular form occurs in the description of those in honored clothing and indulgent living who are in palaces.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two contexts with “pleasure to revel in the daytime” in 2 Peter 2:13 and “self-indulgence” in Luke 7:25. These phrases reflect the clauses rather than supplying a precise token-by-token rendering.
