portions
| Root | μέρος (meros) |
| Core Meanings | part, portion, share, division, allotment, section |
| Semantic Range | physical parts of a body or object, geographical regions, assigned shares or inheritances, aspects of a matter, roles or responsibilities, partial measures |
| Conceptual Significance | μέρος conveys the idea of division within unity—whether territorial allotments, shares in an inheritance, or aspects of a whole truth. In biblical theology, it can express participation (having a ‘share’ in something), distribution by divine allotment, or the partial nature of present understanding compared to fullness. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANP = noun, accusative case, neuter gender, plural number. Accusative marks the direct object or extent, while neuter plural reflects multiple impersonal or abstract ‘parts.’ |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun μέρος denotes a divided part or allotted share of a whole. The form μέρη is accusative neuter plural (ANP), indicating multiple portions functioning as the direct object of a verb; the rendering “portions” preserves both the root sense of divided shares and the plural grammatical form. |
