life
| Root | ζωή (zōē) |
| Core Meanings | life, living existence, vitality, life-force, lifetime |
| Semantic Range | physical life, mortal existence, livelihood, lifetime, spiritual life, eternal life, vitality bestowed by God |
| Conceptual Significance | In the New Testament, ζωή often denotes not merely biological existence but the divinely given life that comes from God, especially eternal life in Messiah. It contrasts at times with ψυχή (soul/life-breath) and emphasizes participation in the life of God both now and in the age to come. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS — noun, accusative case, feminine, singular; functioning typically as the direct object of a verb or as the object of a preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ζωὴν is the accusative feminine singular form of ζωή, meaning "life." Since English does not mark case on nouns in this way, "life" accurately conveys the core meaning while functioning as a direct object, reflecting the accusative singular form in Greek. |
