to the God
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS — noun, dative masculine singular; functioning as indirect object, object of certain prepositions, or expressing relation/advantage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun θεός means "god" or "deity," often referring to the one supreme God in biblical usage. The form Θεῷ is dative masculine singular, so the rendering "to the God" preserves both the singular masculine form and the dative case, which commonly expresses direction, indirect object, or relation ("to/for God"). |
