ἐκείνων
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 G1565-11
that one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; accusative masculine singular (direct object form), indicating a specific person or thing at a distance in place, time, or thought. |
| Rendering Rationale | "That one" preserves the distant demonstrative force derived from ἐκεῖ ("there") and reflects the masculine singular accusative form, functioning as a direct object while retaining contrast with a nearer "this one." |
