| Morphological Notes | Noun (used substantively), genitive masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,GMP); denotes possession, association, source, or description depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἁμαρτωλός derives from ἁμαρτάνω (“to miss the mark, to sin”) and denotes those characterized by missing the mark. The genitive masculine plural form is rendered “of the sinning ones,” preserving both the root idea (active failure or deviation) and the grammatical features of genitive case and masculine plural number. |
