1. yourself (second person reflexive pronoun) — The second person singular reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object of the action are the same person, covering direct-object ('yourself'), indirect-object ('to/for yourself'), and possessive-reflexive ('your own') functions. All 43 NT occurrences express the same reflexive meaning across accusative, genitive, and dative case forms. Multilingual translations confirm a unified concept: Swahili 'mwenyewe/wewe mwenyewe' (yourself), Hindi 'apne aap ko/apne liye' (yourself/for yourself), Korean 'neo jasin-eul/ne jasin-ege' (yourself/to yourself), Arabic 'nafsaka/linafsika' (yourself/for yourself), Spanish 'a ti mismo/para ti mismo' (yourself/for yourself). The S76377 cluster (4x, dative = 'for/to yourself') is a grammatical case variant of S76375 (39x, accusative/genitive/dative), not a separate lexical sense. The dative merely marks the indirect-object role of the same pronoun. 43×
