SIBI-P1 G27-05
the loved ones (masculine, plural); O loved ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from ἀγαπάω. Forms attested here include nominative masculine plural (NMP), vocative masculine plural (VMP), and accusative masculine plural (AMP). Functions substantivally (“the loved ones”) when used without a noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀγαπητοί derives from ἀγαπάω (“to love”) and carries the sense of those who are loved. Rendering it as “the loved ones” preserves the verbal root idea (having been loved) while reflecting the masculine plural nominative/accusative form; in vocative usage it is naturally rendered “O loved ones,” preserving the plural address. |
