SIBI-P1 G2078-01
the farthest things (the last things)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, superlative degree; neuter nominative plural (NNP) and neuter accusative plural (ANP) forms. The neuter plural is often used substantively to denote abstract or collective realities ("the last things"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἔσχατος is a superlative meaning "farthest" or "last." In the neuter nominative/accusative plural (ἔσχατα), it is commonly used substantively, meaning "the farthest things" or "the last things." This rendering preserves the superlative force and reflects the neuter plural form indicated by the morphology. |
