SIBI-P1 G5457-03
in light
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative neuter singular (Gr,N,,,,,DNS,). The dative case here typically denotes location ("in"), means ("by"), or association ("with"). φῶς is a third-declension neuter noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "in light" preserves the core meaning of φῶς as luminous radiance or illumination while reflecting the dative singular form, which commonly expresses location, sphere, or means. The absence of the article in Greek is reflected by the anarthrous English form. |
