Hugies describes bodily wholeness after affliction or impairment, and in one passage characterizes speech as beyond reproach.

The term most often marks a person or body part as restored to bodily wholeness, whether following an affliction, incapacity, or healing action. In Titus 2:8, it occurs in the description of a word that the APB renders as sound and beyond reproach.

Senses in use

  1. Bodily wholeness or restoration · dominant

    The nominative and accusative forms occur in healing and restoration contexts. In John 5:6 and John 5:9, the APB renders the question and result as being “made well”; in Matthew 12:13, the restored hand is “as sound as the other,” while Mark 5:34 speaks of being healthy from an affliction. Acts 4:10 describes a man standing before the audience in this condition.

  2. Sound, unimpeachable speech · rare

    In Titus 2:8, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in a statement about a word; the APB renders the clause “Sound word, beyond reproach.” This is the sole supplied instance outside a bodily restoration setting.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the bodily contexts, the APB uses “healthy,” “well,” “sound,” and “entirely well”; in Titus 2:8 it uses “Sound” for the word described. These are presentations of whole verses in a whole-verse translation.
