the sorrow-pain (feminine singular nominative); to/with sorrow-pain (feminine singular dative)
| Root | λύπη (lypē) |
| Core Meanings | sorrow, grief, pain of mind, distress, inner anguish |
| Semantic Range | emotional sorrow, grief, distress, affliction, heartache, vexation, cause of sadness |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, λύπη denotes deep inner distress of heart or spirit, often associated with repentance, loss, or spiritual conviction. It can describe both destructive worldly grief and transformative sorrow that leads to repentance and restored relationship with God. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular; occurring in nominative feminine singular (NFS) and dative feminine singular (DFS) forms. As a first-declension feminine noun, λύπη functions as subject (nominative) or indirect object/means/location (dative) depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "sorrow-pain" preserves the root sense of deep inner distress or emotional pain inherent in λύπη. The nominative feminine singular form is reflected by "the sorrow-pain" as a subject, while the dative feminine singular is expressed as "to/with sorrow-pain," preserving the case distinction shown in the morphology. |
