33.45 · Communication · Written Language

to record, to list to keep a record of something There may be difficulties involved in changing the passive expression ‘no account is kept of sins’ in ROM 5:13 to ‘God doesn’t keep an account of sins,’ for this might imply that God was unconcerned about sin. It is sometimes possible to avoid this difficulty by rendering ‘no account is kept of sins’ as ‘a sin is not listed as a sin.’

ROM 5:13

57.226 · Possess, Transfer, Exchange · Keep Records

to charge to charge to an account

PHM 1:18
