Exegesis
The partitive genitive ton hupo ton ouranon {τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν | tôn hu-pò tón ou-ra-nón} ‘of those under heaven’ conveys totality of peoples. The formal rendering preserves the participle and idiom “under heaven,” while the dynamic rendering likewise retains “dwelling” and the global idiom for clarity.
