SIBI-P1 G5318-04
the manifest (one/thing)
| Root | φανερός (phaneros) |
| Core Meanings | visible, manifest, evident, openly shown, brought to light |
| Semantic Range | visible, evident, clear, publicly known, openly displayed, outwardly apparent |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, φανερός underscores the contrast between what is hidden and what God brings into the light. It often conveys divine disclosure—whether of truth, deeds, or inner realities—emphasizing that what is brought to light stands exposed before God and others. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from φαίνω. Forms attested: accusative masculine singular (AMS), accusative neuter singular (ANS), and nominative neuter singular (NNS); frequently used substantively to denote a person or thing that is manifest. |
| Rendering Rationale | φανερός derives from φαίνω (“to shine, to bring to light”) and denotes what has been made visible or brought into the open. The form φανερὸν here functions as an accusative masculine singular or accusative/nominative neuter singular adjective, often substantivized; thus “the manifest (one/thing)” preserves both the root sense of visible disclosure and the singular accusative/neuter force indicated by the morphology. |
