SIBI-P1 G846-10

of those same ones (masculine plural)

Morphological NotesGr,RP,,,3GMP = Greek personal pronoun, 3rd person, genitive, masculine, plural. Functions as a possessive or partitive genitive ("of them," "their").
Rendering RationaleThe form αὐτῶν is genitive masculine plural of the third-person pronoun αὐτός. Rendering it as "of those same ones" preserves the genitive sense (possession/source: "of") and reflects the root idea of "self/the same," while indicating masculine plural reference.
