με
egṓ
The primary pronoun of the first person singular: 'I', marking the speaker or writer themselves. While the subject in Greek is often indicated by verb inflection alone, ἐγώ is employed for emphasis, clarification, or contrast, i.e., to draw particular attention to the subject ('I, as opposed to someone else'). It may also appear in reported speech, rhetorical questions, or narrative shifts. Semantic range includes emphatic 'I', the subject of verbs, and, in select cases, as predicate or in contrast with others ('I... not they').

not
| Morphological Notes | Adverbial negative particle (Gr,D); used to negate non-indicative moods, express prohibition, wish, condition, or potentiality. |
| Rendering Rationale | This particle expresses qualified or contingent negation rather than absolute denial. Rendering it as "not" preserves its core negating force, with its subjective or prohibitive nuance reflected in its typical non-indicative usage rather than in expanded wording. |
