of truth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or source, rendered concisely as "of truth." This preserves the abstract quality of ἀλήθεια as the state of being unconcealed or genuine while reflecting the feminine genitive singular morphology. |
