the witness-testimony
| Root | μαρτυρία (martyria) |
| Core Meanings | testimony, witness-bearing, evidence, attestation, record |
| Semantic Range | legal testimony, formal attestation, personal witness, documentary record, divine testimony, apostolic proclamation |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, μαρτυρία often denotes authoritative witness—whether legal, prophetic, or apostolic—especially concerning God's acts and the identity of Messiah. It carries covenantal and judicial overtones, framing revelation as sworn or validated witness rather than mere opinion. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NFS — noun, nominative, feminine, singular; functioning as a singular subject or predicate nominative in a clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the witness-testimony" preserves the connection to μάρτυς (witness), emphasizing the act or content of bearing witness rather than a vague report. As a nominative feminine singular noun, it is rendered as a singular substantive with the definite sense appropriate to its typical use as a subject or focal declaration. |
