SIBI-P1 G3956-17

to all (ones/things)

Rootπᾶς (pas)
Core Meaningsall, whole, entire, every, any, the totality
Semantic Rangeall without exception, the whole group, every individual within a set, all kinds, the entirety of persons or things in view
Conceptual Significanceπᾶς underscores totality and inclusiveness in biblical thought, often emphasizing the comprehensive scope of God’s action, human responsibility, or the extent of a group addressed—highlighting universality, fullness, or covenantal inclusivity.
Morphological NotesAdjective (and occasionally substantival), dative plural masculine (DMP) or dative plural neuter (DNP); functions to modify a dative plural noun or stand substantivally as "to all."
Rendering RationaleThe form πᾶσιν is dative plural (masculine or neuter), so the rendering includes the dative force "to" and preserves the comprehensive sense of πᾶς as the totality or entirety. "All (ones/things)" reflects its adjectival function applied to either persons (masculine) or things (neuter) in plural form.
