SIBI-P1 G5056-03
of the goal
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS,). The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, relation, or description; here it denotes relation to or belonging to the end/goal. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form τέλους is rendered "of the goal" to reflect its neuter singular genitive morphology ("of" indicating possession or relation). "Goal" preserves the core sense of τέλος as the point aimed at—an end understood not merely as cessation but as fulfillment, completion, or intended outcome. |
