to the word-account
| Root | λόγος (logos) |
| Core Meanings | word, speech, account, reason, discourse, matter |
| Semantic Range | spoken word, message, statement, reasoning, rational principle, account, matter under discussion, proclamation, divine self-expression |
| Conceptual Significance | λόγος is central in biblical theology, especially in Johannine literature where it denotes the Divine Expression—God’s self-revealing Word. More broadly, it bridges Hebrew concepts of God’s powerful spoken word and Greek philosophical notions of rational principle, uniting speech and reason in one term. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case commonly expresses indirect object ("to/for"), means ("by/with"), or reference ("in regard to"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of λόγος as both spoken word and reasoned account by combining "word" and "account." The dative masculine singular form (λόγῳ) is reflected by "to the," conveying the dative function as indirect object or sphere/reference, while maintaining singularity. |
