apart-from (governing genitive)
| Root | χωρίς (chōris) |
| Core Meanings | apart, separately, at a distance, without, independent from |
| Semantic Range | without, apart from, separate from, independently of, besides, except for |
| Conceptual Significance | χωρίς expresses relational separation—whether spatial, relational, or causal. In theological contexts (e.g., "apart from me" or "without faith"), it underscores dependence, highlighting that life, righteousness, or effectiveness cannot exist in separation from the stated source. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (indeclinable), used with the genitive case (Gr,PI,,,,G,,,). It functions adverbially and prepositionally to express separation or absence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "apart-from" preserves the spatial root sense of separation derived from χώρα (space, place). Adding "governing genitive" reflects its consistent grammatical function as a preposition taking the genitive case, marking separation or source. |
