   In 1 Corinthians 3:6, the first-person aorist active form occurs in the clause the APB renders, "I planted, Apollos watered," followed by God causing growth; 1 Corinthians 3:7 and 1 Corinthians 3:8 likewise contrast the one planting with the one watering. In Luke 13:6, the perfect passive participle describes a fig tree already planted in a vineyard, while Matthew 15:13 places planting in the statement that every plant not planted by the heavenly Father will be uprooted. Vineyard planting is also shown in Luke 20:9 and Mark 12:1.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with forms of "planted" or "planting," including vineyards and a fig tree; in Luke 17:6 it renders the commanded passive form "be planted in the sea." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English expressions confirm the clauses' setting without fixing a separate rendering for every form.
