This verb describes the act of placing someone in a particular category or reckoning them as part of a specific group. In 2 Corinthians 10:12, Paul uses it to describe those who dare to classify themselves among the commendable, suggesting a nuanced meaning of self-evaluation and comparison. The multilingual evidence (Spanish 'incluirnos', French 'compter parmi', German 'sich vergleichen') captures both the counting-among sense and the comparative aspect of this classification action.
