In 1 Peter 4:11, the present active singular form occurs in the instruction that service be done by the strength God supplies; the APB renders the clause "by the strength that God supplies." In 2 Corinthians 9:10, the future active singular form stands in the statement about supplying seed to the sower and bread for eating; the APB renders "will supply and multiply your seed."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with supplying language in both verses, including "God supplies" in 1 Peter 4:11 and "will supply" in 2 Corinthians 9:10. These renderings confirm the clauses' provision theme rather than isolate every English correspondence.
