SIBI-P1 G2398-01

one’s own things (accusative neuter plural)

Rootἴδιος (ídios)
Core Meaningsone’s own, belonging to oneself, private, distinct, personal possession
Semantic Rangepertaining to oneself, one’s own possession, private property, personal matters, distinct or separate from others, one’s home or household
Conceptual SignificanceIn the biblical text, ἴδιος underscores personal possession and covenantal belonging—what is uniquely one’s own, whether family, property, or people. It often highlights relational identity (e.g., one’s own people or household), reinforcing themes of belonging, responsibility, and distinction between what is personal and what is чужое (belonging to another).
Morphological NotesAdjectival/pronominal form of ἴδιος. In the cited forms it appears as accusative neuter plural (ANP), nominative neuter plural (NNP), and dative feminine singular (DFS). As an adjective of possession, it agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies; when used substantivally in the neuter plural, it denotes "one’s own things."
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the core sense of ἴδιος as that which belongs uniquely to oneself. The accusative neuter plural form (ANP) is reflected in "things," indicating multiple personal possessions or matters, while "one’s own" maintains the reflexive sense of personal belonging inherent in the adjective.
