accordingly, then
| Root | οὖν (oun) |
| Core Meanings | therefore, so, then, accordingly, consequently, inferential connector |
| Semantic Range | therefore, so, then, accordingly, consequently, now then, as a result, for that reason; occasionally transitional or resumptive in discourse. |
| Conceptual Significance | οὖν is a key logical connector in Greek argumentation, especially in Pauline and Johannine writings, marking theological conclusions drawn from prior revelation or reasoning. It signals continuity and consequence within covenantal instruction and apostolic exhortation. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,CC = coordinating conjunction; an inferential particle linking clauses or sentences to indicate result, conclusion, or logical progression; indeclinable. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "accordingly, then" preserves the inferential and consequential force of οὖν as a coordinating conjunction that draws a logical conclusion from what precedes. Since the morphology identifies it as a conjunction (Gr,CC) with no inflection for tense, voice, mood, case, gender, or number, the translation reflects its discourse function rather than grammatical inflection. |
