In John 18:18, the nominative singular form occurs with a charcoal fire and people warming themselves, while 2 Corinthians 11:27 places the dative singular form among hardships and nakedness; the APB renders "in cold and nakedness."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "the cold" in Acts 28:2 and John 18:18 and as "in cold" in 2 Corinthians 11:27. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
