SIBI-P1 G784-01
the un-spotted ones
| Root | ἄσπιλος (aspilos) |
| Core Meanings | unspotted, unstained, without blemish, free from defilement |
| Semantic Range | physically without blemish; ritually clean; morally pure; free from corruption, stain, or disgrace |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, the imagery of being "without spot" echoes sacrificial language of unblemished offerings and extends to moral and covenantal purity. It conveys the ideal of a people set apart, free from defilement, suitable for divine presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine plural (NMP). Used substantivally here, functioning as a noun: "the un-spotted ones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines the negative prefix ἀ- ("not") with σπῖλος ("spot, stain"), literally meaning "not spotted." The nominative masculine plural form is reflected in the rendering "the un-spotted ones," preserving both the privative force of the alpha and the plural masculine grammatical form. |
