SIBI-P1 G829-01
a self-pleasing one (masculine accusative singular)
| Root | αὐθάδης (authadēs) |
| Core Meanings | self-pleasing, self-willed, self-delighting, stubbornly self-directed |
| Semantic Range | self-willed, arrogant, obstinately self-directed, overbearing, one who acts from self-pleasure rather than regard for others |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical contexts, this term characterizes a person governed by self-interest and personal gratification rather than submission to God or communal responsibility, marking a moral flaw opposed to humility and covenant faithfulness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine singular (Gr,NS,,,,AMS,). It modifies or substantively describes a masculine singular noun functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective αὐθάδης combines αὐτός (self) with the root of ἡδονή (pleasure), conveying one who pleases himself. Rendering it as "self-pleasing" preserves this root connection rather than the looser "self-willed." The accusative masculine singular form is reflected by "one" as a masculine singular direct object. |
