ἐκείνου
ekeînos
that
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

SIBI-P1 Translation G1565-13
of that one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; genitive masculine singular (from ἐκεῖνος), indicating possession or association with a distant or contrastive referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form ἐκείνου denotes possession or relation and refers to a specific person distinguished as distant or contrasted; “of that one” preserves both the genitive case and the distal demonstrative force. |
