of my own self
| Root | ἐμαυτοῦ (emautou) |
| Core Meanings | of myself, of my own self, belonging to myself, from myself |
| Semantic Range | of myself, from myself, belonging to myself, on my own authority, by my own initiative |
| Conceptual Significance | This reflexive genitive underscores personal source or authority, often highlighting that an action, teaching, or decision does not arise independently but in relation to another (e.g., not "from myself"). It can emphasize dependence, humility, or accountability in theological contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Reflexive pronoun; first person; genitive case; masculine singular (Gr,RE,,,1GMS). The genitive expresses possession, source, or relation and agrees in gender and number with the implied masculine referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἐμαυτοῦ is the genitive singular of the first-person reflexive pronoun, combining ἐμοῦ (of me) with αὐτός (self). "Of my own self" preserves the genitive case (showing source, possession, or reference) and maintains the reflexive force that intensifies personal agency. |
