SIBI-P1 G1849-01

to/with the out-authority

Morphological NotesNoun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,) in most occurrences listed; also appears as nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,). Dative expresses means, sphere, or relation; nominative marks the subject. Feminine singular noun.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root sense of ἐξουσία as the right or power that "comes out from" a source (from ἔξεστι, "it is permitted/it is lawful"). The dative feminine singular form (DFS) is reflected by "to/with," expressing sphere, means, or association, and by the singular "the out-authority," maintaining grammatical number and gender implied in the Greek noun.
