of the word/reasoned account
| Root | λόγος (logos) |
| Core Meanings | word, speech, account, reason, discourse, matter |
| Semantic Range | spoken word, message, statement, discourse, report, matter, reason, explanation, calculation, motive; in Johannine usage, the Divine Expression |
| Conceptual Significance | λόγος bridges speech and reason, expressing the Hebrew concept of God’s effective word (דבר) and the Greek idea of rational principle. In the New Testament, especially in John, it carries profound theological weight as the self-expression and revelatory agency of God embodied in the Messiah. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,). The form λόγου denotes possession, source, description, or relation: "of the word/account." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form λόγου is rendered "of the word/reasoned account" to preserve the core sense of logos as both spoken word and rational account. The phrase reflects the genitive case ("of"), singular number, and maintains the conceptual link between speech and reason inherent in the root. |
