Senses in use

  1. Elevated reality or lofty opposition · dominant

    In Romans 8:39, the nominative singular neuter form is placed with “depth” in the APB’s list of things unable to separate from the love of God. In 2 Corinthians 10:5, the accusative singular neuter form is among what is torn down; the APB renders the clause “every lofty thing that rises against the knowledge of God.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “height” in Romans 8:39 and within “every lofty thing” in 2 Corinthians 10:5. These renderings show the verses’ presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
