Allow:

"to prove with a view to approving," is twice translated by the verb "to allow" in the AV; the RV corrects to "approveth" in Rom 14:22, and "have been approved," 1Th 2:4, of being qualified to be entrusted with the Gospel; in Rom 1:28, with the negative, the RV has "refused," for AV, "did not like."
See APPROVE.

Allow:

"to know," is rendered "allow" in Rom 7:15 (AV); the RV has "that which I do I know not;" i.e., "I do not recognize, as a thing for which I am responsible."
See AWARE, CAN, FEEL, KNOW, PERCEIVE, RESOLVE, SPEAK, SURE, UNDERSTAND.

Allow:

Allow:

mistranslated "allow" in Act 24:15, AV, means "to wait for," in contrast to rejection, there said of entertaining a hope; hence the RV, "look for."
