the ordered-world
| Root | κόσμος (kosmos) |
| Core Meanings | order, arrangement, adornment, ordered system, world, inhabited world |
| Semantic Range | adornment or decoration; orderly arrangement; the structured universe; the inhabited earth; humanity collectively; the present world-system in moral opposition to God. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, κόσμος can denote the created order, the inhabited human sphere, or the moral world-system estranged from God. Its root sense of "order" highlights both the beauty of creation and the structured yet fallen system that stands in tension with the reign of God. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS = Noun, Accusative, Masculine, Singular; functioning as a direct object or object of a preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | κόσμος fundamentally denotes an ordered arrangement or adornment, from which the sense of the structured world arises. Rendering it as "the ordered-world" preserves this root idea of arrangement rather than a mere physical planet. The form is accusative masculine singular, indicating a single, definite direct object in the clause. |
