SIBI-P1 G2398-08

one’s-own (accusative masculine/neuter singular; genitive neuter plural: of one’s-own things)

Rootἴδιος (ídios)
Core Meaningsone’s own, belonging to oneself, private, distinct, personal
Semantic Rangebelonging to oneself, personal possession, private property, one’s own people, one’s own home, distinct or separate from others
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, ἴδιος often marks covenantal belonging or intimate association (e.g., one’s own people, one’s own household). It highlights personal responsibility, relational identity, and the distinction between what is common and what uniquely belongs to someone, including one’s relationship to God or community.
Morphological NotesAdjectival form (ἴδιος). Occurs here as accusative masculine singular (AMS) and accusative neuter singular (ANS): ἴδιον; and as genitive neuter plural (GNP): ἰδίων. The accusative forms function as direct object or predicate accusative; the genitive plural denotes possession or source.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "one’s-own" preserves the reflexive sense inherent in ἴδιος—what belongs uniquely to a person or entity. The accusative masculine/neuter singular form (ἴδιον) is reflected as a direct object, while the genitive neuter plural (ἰδίων) is rendered "of one’s-own things," preserving both case and number distinctions.
