ἐκεῖνοι
ekeînos
those
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

SIBI-P1 Translation G1565-09
those ones
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; nominative masculine plural (Gr,ED/RD,,,,NMP); functioning substantivally as "those ones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative masculine plural form denotes specific persons who are conceptually or spatially distant from the speaker. "Those ones" preserves both the plural morphology and the demonstrative force derived from ἐκεῖ ("there"), maintaining contrast with "this." |
