| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative case; feminine; singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | "Attentive obedience" preserves the root sense of hearing under authority (ὑπό + ἀκούω), capturing both listening and responsive compliance. The accusative feminine singular form indicates this is the direct object or goal of action, rendered as a singular abstract noun in English. |
