SIBI-P1 G2889-01

to/for the ordered-world

Morphological NotesNoun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case commonly expresses location (in), direction (to), advantage (for), or relation; singular and masculine, modifying a single ordered system or world.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "ordered-world" preserves the root sense of κόσμος as an arranged or harmoniously ordered system, not merely a physical planet. The prefixed "to/for" reflects the dative masculine singular form, indicating direction, reference, advantage, or sphere in relation to the single ordered system.
