SIBI-P1 G3778-04

this-one (near, nominative masculine singular)

Rootοὗτος (houtos)
Core Meaningsthis, this one, this here, in this manner
Semantic Rangethis person, this thing, this man, this one here, he himself (emphatic), such a one; in its adverbial form: thus, so, in this way, accordingly
Conceptual Significanceοὗτος marks immediacy and emphasis, identifying someone or something as present, relevant, or just mentioned. In narrative and discourse it often heightens focus on a particular figure (e.g., "this-one" as Messiah or witness). The adverbial οὕτως frequently introduces explanation, fulfillment, or divine action "in this way," underscoring the manner in which God’s purposes unfold.
Morphological Notesοὗτος: demonstrative pronoun, nominative masculine singular (subject form), indicating a specific person or thing near the speaker. οὕτως: adverb of manner derived from the same demonstrative stem, meaning "thus" or "in this way."
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "this-one" preserves the demonstrative force of οὗτος and reflects its nominative masculine singular form (Gr,RD,,,,NMS,), indicating a specific male subject near the speaker. The related adverbial form οὕτως (Gr,D) derives from the same root and is faithfully rendered "in-this-way," preserving the demonstrative sense of manner.
