SIBI-P1 G2041-04
a work-deed
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANS / NNS: noun, neuter, singular; appearing in nominative singular (subject) and accusative singular (direct object). The identical form ἔργον serves for both nominative and accusative neuter singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "work-deed" preserves the root sense of ἔργον as tangible, enacted labor or action, not merely effort but a concrete accomplished act. The form ἔργον is neuter singular and functions as either nominative or accusative, so "a work-deed" reflects its singular, substantive force as either subject or direct object. |
