    The accusative plural ὑβριστάς in Romans 1:30 stands within a list that includes slanderers, arrogant people, and boastful people; the APB presents the list with “insolent.” The accusative singular ὑβριστήν in 1 Timothy 1:13 is included in the speaker’s former description alongside being blasphemous and a persecutor; the APB likewise includes “an insolent man.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB includes “insolent” in both cited verses, once in a vice list and once in a former self-description. This repeated wording is read alongside the forms and their clauses rather than treated as a precise lexical mapping.
