SIBI-P1 Translation G2307-04
of the will
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): denotes possession, source, or relation; from θέλω with -μα suffix indicating the result or object of willing. |
| Rendering Rationale | θέλημα denotes that which is willed—an intention, purpose, or decree. The genitive singular form is preserved by rendering it "of the will," expressing possession or source while maintaining the noun’s core sense of volitional intent. |
