ἀρχή G746

Home gloss

beginning; rule (of power)

Instead of (KJV / RSV)

beginning; rule, dominion

Note

Split by construction (20): "rule" where it names power over something (1:16, εἰς ἀρχάς with a genitive of what is ruled; 1 Cor 15:24; Col 1:16), "beginning" elsewhere, a river's beginning (its source) included (2:10). The word of 1:1 returns as the light-givers' office and as the starts of the four rivers
