away-from (governing the genitive)
| Root | ἀπό (apo) |
| Core Meanings | from, away from, off, out from, separation, source, departure |
| Semantic Range | denotes movement away from a place, origin from a source, separation from a person or thing, cause or basis ("because of"), temporal starting point ("since"), or distance in space or time. |
| Conceptual Significance | ἀπό is foundational for expressing source and separation in the Greek New Testament, frequently marking divine origin (e.g., from God), deliverance away from sin, or temporal beginnings. It shapes theological concepts of redemption, calling, and identity by indicating what believers are separated from and the source from which blessing or revelation proceeds. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) that regularly takes a genitive object; expresses separation, source, origin, cause, or temporal starting point. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "away-from" preserves the core spatial and relational sense of separation inherent in ἀπό. The morphology identifies it as a preposition governing the genitive case, which typically marks source, origin, or separation; the rendering reflects this directional movement or relational distancing from a genitive complement. |
