to the set-apart one/thing
| Root | ἅγιος (hagios) |
| Core Meanings | set-apart, sacred, consecrated, holy, devoted to deity, pure |
| Semantic Range | pertaining to what is set apart for God; sacred, holy, consecrated; morally pure; belonging to the divine sphere; used of God, the Spirit, angels, places, objects, and believers ("saints"). |
| Conceptual Significance | The term expresses the fundamental biblical concept of separation unto God—what belongs uniquely to Him and reflects His character. It shapes Israel’s covenant identity and, in the Greek Scriptures, defines the people of God and the Spirit as belonging to the divine sphere of holiness. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative singular, masculine or neuter (Gr,AA/AR,,,,DMS/DNS). Functions attributively or substantivally; in this form it denotes indirect object, sphere, means, or reference ("to/for/in the set-apart [one/thing]"). |
| Rendering Rationale | ἁγίῳ is the dative singular (masculine or neuter) form of ἅγιος. Rendering it as "to the set-apart one/thing" preserves the core idea of being set apart or consecrated while explicitly reflecting the dative case ("to/for") and singular number; "one/thing" accounts for its masculine or neuter grammatical gender. |
