| Root | στάσις (stasis) |
| Core Meanings | standing, position, faction, uprising, dissension, revolt |
| Semantic Range | a standing, position, faction, civil unrest, revolt, insurrection, dissension, internal strife |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical and Greco-Roman contexts, στάσις often refers to civil unrest or factional division within a city or community. It highlights the destructive nature of internal division, whether political or communal, and underscores the contrast between societal upheaval and the peace expected among God’s people. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,). Functions as the subject or predicate nominative in a clause, referring to one instance of στάσις. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of "standing" (from ἵστημι, to stand) while reflecting its developed meaning of a faction rising up or taking a stand against others. The singular form matches the nominative feminine singular morphology, presenting it as a single instance of such a standing or uprising. |
