self-mastering one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; accusative masculine singular (Gr,NS,,,,AMS,), describing a single male characterized by self-mastery. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root idea of having power (κράτος) within oneself (ἐν), conveying active self-mastery rather than mere restraint. The accusative masculine singular substantive adjective is represented as "one" who is characterized by this quality. |
