self-exalting ones
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,AMP), functioning as a direct object and denoting persons characterized by haughtiness. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of "appearing above" (ὑπερ- + φαν-) as those who manifest themselves as superior. The accusative masculine plural substantive adjective is conveyed by the plural "ones," preserving its function as a group characterized by this quality. |
