   All three occurrences are nominative masculine adjectives. In 2 Corinthians 2:9 the APB renders a test of whether the recipients are "obedient in all things"; Acts 7:39 contrasts this quality with the fathers' refusal and rejection; in Philippians 2:8 the APB renders self-humbling as becoming "obedient until death."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "obedient" in 2 Corinthians 2:9 and Philippians 2:8, while Acts 7:39 presents the contrasting refusal "to obey him." These are translation-level renderings rather than definitions.
