an acquired possession
| Root | κτῆμα (ktēma) |
| Core Meanings | acquired thing, possession, property, estate |
| Semantic Range | property, estate, goods, acquired assets, material holdings, something gained or owned |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, κτῆμα highlights tangible property or material acquisition, often in contrast with spiritual inheritance. It reflects the cultural reality of land and goods as signs of stability, wealth, and legacy, while also inviting reflection on the distinction between earthly possessions and enduring treasure. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANS — noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number; functioning as a direct object in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from κτάομαι, "to acquire" or "to gain for oneself," and thus denotes something obtained or gained. Rendering it as "an acquired possession" preserves the verbal root idea of acquisition while reflecting the accusative singular form with the English indefinite singular "an." |
