Senses in use
-
God's Son in relation to the Father · dominant
The singular forms identify Jesus in clauses concerning God or the Father: in 1 John 4:14 the APB renders that the Father “sent the Son as Savior of the world,” while 1 John 5:20 speaks of God's Son having come and of being in God “in his Son Jesus Christ.” In 1 John 2:23, the accusative singular occurs in the paired relation of denying or confessing the Son and having the Father.
-
Male child within a family line · common
The term identifies an individual by family relation: in Acts 16:1 the APB renders Timothy as the child of a Jewish woman and a Greek father, and in Acts 23:16 it names the child of Paul's sister. Acts 7:21 describes Pharaoh's daughter raising Moses “as her own son,” while Acts 13:21 identifies Saul in relation to Kish.
-
Members defined by ancestry or affiliation · common
Plural forms designate groups by descent or association: Acts 10:36 addresses the “sons of Israel,” and Acts 3:25 calls its hearers “sons of the prophets and of the covenant.” The same pattern can be descriptive rather than genealogical: 1 Thessalonians 5:5 calls its audience “sons of light and sons of the day,” and Acts 13:10 addresses a man as “son of the devil.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the term with “Son” or “sons,” whether in family, ancestral, descriptive, or Father-and-Son clauses. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, its wording is treated as confirmation of each clause's overall relation rather than as a fixed lexical rendering.
