κοινά
koinós
common
Shared in common or belonging to a group collectively; used broadly to denote what is ordinary, not distinctive, or not set apart. In ritual and purity contexts, refers to what is profane, not sacred, or ritually impure/unclean; in other contexts, simply ordinary or general rather than special or exclusive. Basic sense is 'shared' or 'under common ownership/use,' but in Jewish and early Christian texts especially, can imply a lack of holiness or ritual impurity.

SIBI-P1 Translation G2839-01
common things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantively; neuter plural accusative (form also nominative plural), describing or standing in for "things" that are common/shared. |
| Rendering Rationale | The neuter plural substantive adjective denotes things characterized as κοινός—belonging to common use or not set apart. "Common things" preserves both the collective neuter plural sense and the root idea of what is shared or not sacred. |
