In Romans 12:20, the present active form occurs in the instruction concerning an enemy who is hungry; the APB renders the clause "feed him." In 1 Corinthians 13:3, the aorist active subjunctive occurs in a hypothetical act of giving away all possessions; the APB renders the clause "if I give away all my possessions."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the action as "feed him" in Romans 12:20 and as giving away possessions in 1 Corinthians 13:3. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate meanings.
