Sounds Like: eng-KREE-nei THEH-os
Translations: God approves, God judges, God allows, approved by God, judged by God, allowed by God
From the root: ΕΓΚΡΙΝΩ, ΘΕΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of the verb 'εγκρίνω' (egkrino), meaning 'to approve, judge, or allow', and the noun 'θεός' (theos), meaning 'God'. It likely functions as a phrase or a descriptive term, indicating an action performed by God, such as 'God approves' or 'God judges'. Alternatively, it could describe something that is 'approved by God' or 'judged by God'. It is not a standard single word found in Koine Greek lexicons, suggesting it might be a unique construction or a very rare compound.
Inflection: The form 'εγκρίνει' could be a third-person singular present active indicative verb ('he/she/it approves'). 'Θεός' is a singular nominative masculine noun. Therefore, the combination would mean 'God approves' or 'He/She/It approves God'. However, given the context of ancient Greek compounds, it's more likely to be a descriptive phrase where 'God' is the agent of approval.
