SIBI-P1 G1699-03

me (my very self)

Rootἐγώ (egō)
Core MeaningsI, me, myself, personal identity, self-reference
Semantic Rangethe speaker as direct object; personal involvement; self-reference with emphasis; contrast between persons (me vs. others)
Conceptual SignificanceThe emphatic use of ἐμέ frequently underscores personal relationship and allegiance in the biblical text (e.g., following, believing, rejecting "me"). It can heighten the force of divine self-disclosure or covenantal demand, centering attention on the person speaking.
Morphological NotesPersonal pronoun; first person; accusative case; singular number. The accusative marks it as the direct object of a verb or object of certain prepositions. The accented form ἐμέ/ἐμὲ is typically emphatic.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἐμὲ is the emphatic accusative singular of ἐγώ, marking the speaker as the direct object of an action. "Me (my very self)" preserves the first-person singular and accusative function while reflecting the emphatic force often carried by this form in Greek.
