SIBI-P1 G4413-05
to the foremost (one/thing)
| Root | πρῶτος (prōtos) |
| Core Meanings | first, foremost, earliest, chief, preeminent |
| Semantic Range | first in time, first in sequence, foremost in rank, chief in status, primary, most important, former (in contrast) |
| Conceptual Significance | πρῶτος frequently conveys priority—whether temporal (the first in a series), hierarchical (chief or ruler), or honorific (preeminent). In biblical theology it can express both chronological beginning and supreme rank, contributing to themes of primacy, authority, and divine order. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, superlative form; dative singular (masculine and neuter attested in the forms provided). Functions either attributively with a noun or substantively as "the foremost one/thing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the superlative sense of πρῶτος as "foremost" or "first in rank/order" while reflecting the dative singular form ("to" or "for"). Because the forms include both masculine and neuter dative singular, "(one/thing)" allows the grammatical gender to remain open while maintaining singular reference. |
