| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἰσχύς often denotes not merely physical power but divinely granted strength or effective force. It can describe human might, spiritual endurance, or the powerful working of God, emphasizing active, operative strength rather than abstract power. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,); denotes indirect object, means, or sphere in which action occurs. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἰσχύϊ is the dative feminine singular form of ἰσχύς, indicating means, instrument, or association. Rendering it as "with strength-force" preserves the core idea of active force or might while reflecting the dative sense of instrumentality and the singular feminine noun form. |
