| Root | ἐπαγγελία (epangelia) |
| Core Meanings | announcement, proclamation, promise, pledged assurance |
| Semantic Range | a public announcement, an offered assurance, a pledged commitment, a formal promise, especially a divinely given promise |
| Conceptual Significance | In the New Testament, ἐπαγγελία frequently denotes God’s proclaimed covenantal assurance—particularly regarding salvation, the Spirit, and inheritance—emphasizing not merely a private intention but a publicly declared and reliable divine commitment. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NFS = noun, nominative feminine singular; Gr,N,,,,,DFS = noun, dative feminine singular. Lexeme is a first-declension feminine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ἐπαγγέλλω (“to proclaim, announce, declare upon”), so "proclaimed pledge" preserves the verbal root idea of an announced commitment. The form is feminine singular, appearing in nominative and dative cases; the rendering reflects a singular concrete entity, with case relations (subject or indirect object/means) determined by context. |
