SIBI-P1 Translation G4413-10
of the first
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; genitive singular masculine (form also functions as genitive singular neuter). From πρῶτος, superlative form meaning first or foremost. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form πρώτου denotes possession or relation and is best rendered "of the first," preserving both the superlative sense of primacy and the genitive case. "First" retains the core idea of precedence in time, order, or rank inherent in πρῶτος. |
