ἐγώ G2257
of us, from us (genitive first-person plural pronoun); possessive or source
The genitive form of the first-person plural pronoun, expressing possession ('our faith'), origin ('one from among us'), or relationship ('the hope of us all'). Ancient Greek also has an enclitic shorter form used in less emphatic positions. The genitive's range includes partitive sense ('some of us'), subjective genitive ('our love for God'), and objective genitive ('God's love for us'). Biblical authors weave this form throughout communal theology—our salvation, our Lord, the body of us who believe. The pronoun's genetic relationship binds speaker and audience in shared ownership or experience.
