SIBI-P1 Translation G459-01
to lawless ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; dative masculine plural (DMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The alpha privative negates νόμος (law, norm), yielding “lawless” or “without law.” The dative masculine plural form is rendered as “to lawless ones,” preserving both its adjectival-substantive force and dative plural morphology. |
