the beginning
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS — noun, accusative case, feminine gender, singular number. The accusative marks it as the direct object or object of a preposition in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἀρχή denotes an origin, first point, or ruling principle. Here it appears in the accusative feminine singular (ἀρχὴν), functioning as a direct object or as the object of a preposition; the rendering "the beginning" preserves its core sense of originating point or first principle while reflecting its singular feminine form in Greek. |
