of the good
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive masculine singular (may function substantivally as "the good [one]"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form ἀγαθοῦ denotes possession, source, or relation, rendered concisely as "of the good." This preserves both the intrinsic quality of goodness in the root and the genitive masculine singular morphology. |
