SIBI-P1 G2316-07
of the Deity
| 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. |
