SIBI-P1 G26-04
of self-giving love
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). The form ἀγάπης denotes possession, source, relationship, or description, depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of ἀγάπη as devoted, benevolent, self-giving love rather than mere emotion. The genitive singular feminine form (ἀγάπης) is reflected by the English construction "of self-giving love," clearly marking possession, source, or quality as indicated by the genitive case. |
