SIBI-P1 Translation G266-06
of wrongdoings
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP) — indicating possession, source, or relation: "of" + plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "wrongdoings" reflects the concrete acts of failing or deviating from a standard inherent in ἁμαρτία, rooted in "missing the mark." The genitive plural form is preserved by "of wrongdoings," maintaining both case and number. |
