of the Deity
| Root | θεός (theos) |
| Core Meanings | god, deity, divine being, supreme God |
| Semantic Range | the one true God of Israel, a pagan god, a divine being, one possessing divine status or authority, figuratively a judge or mighty one |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, θεός most often refers to the one God of Israel, the supreme, personal Creator and covenantal Deity. The genitive form frequently expresses belonging to, origin from, or relationship with God, underscoring divine authority, ownership, or action in salvation history. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive case, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,). The genitive typically expresses possession, source, relationship, or description. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma θεός denotes a god or the supreme God. The form Θεοῦ is genitive masculine singular, which is best rendered with the English preposition "of" to reflect possession, source, or relationship; thus "of the Deity" preserves both the core meaning and the genitive singular form. |
