| Conceptual Significance | The definite article in Greek often does more than specify; it can substantivize adjectives and participles and mark particular identity or uniqueness. In theological contexts, its presence (e.g., ὁ θεός, ὁ λόγος) can signal specificity, identity, or emphasis, shaping doctrinal interpretation. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,EA,,,,NMS — definite article; nominative case; masculine gender; singular number. Used to mark a specific masculine singular subject or substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Greek ὁ is the definite article marking a specific, identifiable noun. This form is nominative masculine singular, indicating a particular masculine subject in the sentence. The rendering preserves its definiteness while explicitly reflecting its grammatical gender, number, and case. |
