unblemished ones
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative masculine plural (AMP). Functions as a plural object describing persons characterized as without blemish or fault. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "unblemished ones" preserves the privative force of ἀ- ("without") joined to μῶμος ("blemish, fault"), conveying freedom from defect. The accusative masculine plural form is reflected by the plural substantive sense "ones." |
