the able (thing)
| Root | δυνατός (dynatós) |
| Core Meanings | able, powerful, capable, strong, possible |
| Semantic Range | powerful, capable, strong, influential; possible, able to be done; competent (of persons); mighty (substantively, "a powerful one") |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, δυνατός frequently highlights the sphere of what lies within power—especially God’s power—contrasting human limitation with divine capability. It underscores the theological theme that what is impossible for humans is "able" within God’s δύναμις (power). |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative neuter singular (Gr,NS/NP,,,,NNS). The neuter singular form often functions as a substantive, referring to an abstract possibility or capability ("the able thing"), or serving as a predicate adjective in impersonal constructions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective δυνατός derives from δύναμαι/δύναμις, conveying ability or power. In the neuter nominative singular (NNS), it commonly functions substantively to mean "the able thing"—that which is within power or capability—thus preserving both the root sense of power/ability and the grammatical form. |
