| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,). Functions as a direct object or object of a preposition in the sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἄφεσις derives from ἀφίημι (“to send away, release”), so “release” preserves the root idea of something being sent away or let go. The form ἄφεσιν is accusative feminine singular, which is reflected by rendering it as a singular count noun functioning as a direct object: “a release.” |
