he himself

Rootαὐτός (autos)
Core Meaningsself, same, very one, identity, personal reference
Semantic Rangehe, she, it, they (with number change); himself, herself, itself; the same, the very one; personal identity marker; sometimes used for emphasis or contrast
Conceptual Significanceαὐτός highlights personal identity and emphasis, often underscoring agency, authority, or direct involvement (e.g., "he himself" acted). In theological contexts, it can stress divine initiative or the personal presence of Yeshua or God, reinforcing the individuality and intentionality of the subject.
Morphological NotesGr,RP/RE,,,3NMS: third-person pronoun (personal or emphatic), nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; functioning as the subject with intensive or identifying force.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma αὐτός fundamentally denotes "self" or "the same one," often functioning as an intensive pronoun. In the nominative masculine singular (3NMS), it refers to a third-person male subject and adds emphasis, so "he himself" preserves both the reflexive/intensive force of the root and its nominative masculine singular grammatical form.
