SIBI-P1 Translation G4375-01
affection-worthy things
| Morphological Notes | Predicate adjective; neuter, nominative, plural (Gr,NP,,,,NNP,) describing plural neuter referents. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the φιλ- root (“to love, have affection”) with the πρός prefix suggesting movement toward affection—thus, “worthy of affection.” The neuter nominative plural form is expressed as “things,” preserving the adjective’s agreement in number and gender. |
