SIBI-P1 G1655-01
a mercy-showing one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular (Gr,NS,,,,NMS); functioning substantivally to describe a single male subject characterized by mercy. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἐλεήμων derives from ἐλεέω (“to show mercy, to have compassion”), so “mercy-showing” preserves the active, relational sense of expressing mercy rather than merely feeling it. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by rendering it as “a … one,” indicating a single masculine subject characterized by this quality. |
