SIBI-P1 G273-02
un-reproached one (nominative masculine/feminine singular); in an un-reproached manner
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular (NMS) and nominative feminine singular (NFS); also appears as an adverb (D) meaning "blamelessly" or "without reproach." The adjective agrees with its subject in gender and number; the adverb modifies verbs to describe manner. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines the negative prefix ἀ- with a form related to μέμφομαι (to blame, find fault), yielding the sense "not blamed" or "without reproach." Rendering it as "un-reproached" preserves the verbal root idea of blame. The nominative masculine and feminine singular forms are reflected as "one," while the adverbial form is rendered "in an un-reproached manner," preserving its adverbial force. |
