me (my very self)
| Root | ἐγώ (egō) |
| Core Meanings | I, me, myself, personal identity, self-reference |
| Semantic Range | the speaker as direct object; personal involvement; self-reference with emphasis; contrast between persons (me vs. others) |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Personal 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 Rationale | The 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. |
