SIBI-P1 G1849-04
authority-right
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,); direct object form of ἐξουσία. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "authority-right" preserves the root sense of ἐξουσία as the lawful or delegated right to act (from ἔξεστι, "it is permitted"). The form ἐξουσίαν is accusative feminine singular, functioning as a direct object, and the singular English noun reflects that grammatical number while maintaining its concrete sense as a specific exercised authority. |
