the set-apart (thing)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from ἅγιος. In the cited form ἅγιον: accusative, neuter, singular (ANS). Other listed forms include genitive masculine plural (GMP) and accusative masculine singular (AMS), showing its regular adjectival inflection across gender, number, and case. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἅγιος fundamentally denotes what is set apart from common use and devoted to the divine. The form ἅγιον here is accusative neuter singular, so the rendering reflects a singular neuter substantive functioning as a direct object—"the set-apart (thing)"—preserving both its adjectival force and grammatical features. |
