    The supplied morphology identifies each form as a preposition. In 1 Corinthians 10:1 the APB renders the clause “under the cloud”; in 1 Corinthians 1:11 it renders information made clear “by Chloe's people”; and in 1 Corinthians 15:25 it renders enemies placed “under his feet.” 1 Peter 5:6 likewise presents humbling “under the mighty hand of God,” while Acts 13:4 presents persons sent out “by the Holy Spirit.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the prepositional relation with wording such as “under,” “by,” and “from,” though it is a whole-verse translation to the Greek term.
