Ἁγίου
hágios
Primarily, ἅγιος denotes that which is set apart from the ordinary for a special, often divine, purpose; hence, 'dedicated' or 'consecrated.' In extended contexts, it also signifies moral purity, ritual cleanness, or uprightness, describing persons, objects, places, or times that are regarded as distinct from the everyday through association with the divine or the sacred. Thus, it encompasses both the idea of being set apart to the divine realm and, secondarily, being pure or worthy due to that special status.

of the consecrated
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive singular neuter (Gr,AA/AR,,,,GNS); attributive form modifying a neuter singular noun in the genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or association, rendered with "of." "Consecrated" reflects the core sense of being set apart for the divine, preserving the primary root meaning without narrowing it to moral purity alone. |
