the set-apart (thing)
| Root | ἅγιος (hagios) |
| Core Meanings | set-apart, sacred, consecrated, holy, devoted to deity, pure |
| Semantic Range | pertaining to what is dedicated to God; sacred space (sanctuary); holy person (saint); moral purity; ritual consecration; the divine sphere as distinct from the common |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, ἅγιος marks the boundary between the common and the divine. It describes God’s intrinsic otherness, the consecrated status of places and objects, and the covenant identity of God’s people as those set apart for Him. |
| 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. |
