Morphological NotesAdjective, nominative masculine plural (Gr,NP,,,,NMP); functioning substantivally/predicatively to describe a group as being in a state of flourishing or privilege.
Rendering Rationale"Fortunate" reflects the objective state of well-being and privileged status inherent in μακάριος, avoiding purely subjective "happy." The nominative masculine plural form is preserved by rendering it as "ones," indicating a group described by this status.
