In Acts 17:30, the aorist active nominative singular masculine participle occurs in the clause about God and “the times of ignorance.” The APB renders the clause, “The times of ignorance God overlooked,” before contrasting it with the command that all people repent.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 17:30, the APB presents the clause as God having “overlooked” the times of ignorance. This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating every nuance of the term.
