The strongest evidence of a proper translation of a word is the meaning rendered by respected translators. The ASV is the most respected for accuracy and reliability. Also, a few of the other versions noted above are highly respected and quoted from often. It is primarily the new versions, which are known for unfaithfulness to the original language, that in some instances render apoluo as divorce.
