SIBI-P1 G3986-05

of the testing

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,); denotes possession, source, or relation—"of" something characterized by testing or proving.
Rendering Rationaleπειρασμοῦ is genitive masculine singular, so "of the testing" preserves the genitive case and singular number. Rendering it as "testing" retains the verbal force of the root πειράζω (to test, to try, to prove), keeping the sense of an active proving process rather than reducing it to the narrower English term "temptation."
