SIBI-P1 G1438-09
of themselves (3rd person genitive masculine plural) / himself (3rd person accusative masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Reflexive pronoun (RE); forms attested here include 3rd person genitive masculine plural (3GMP) and 3rd person accusative masculine singular (3AMS). Genitive expresses possession or relation ("of themselves"); accusative marks the direct object ("himself"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the reflexive force inherent in ἑαυτοῦ, marking that the action or possession returns to the same subject. "Of themselves" reflects the genitive masculine plural form (3GMP), indicating possession or source, while "himself" reflects the accusative masculine singular form (3AMS), marking the direct object referring back to the subject. |
