| Root | βασιλεία (basileía) |
| Core Meanings | kingship, royal rule, reign, realm, sovereignty |
| Semantic Range | royal rule, reign, kingship, dominion, kingdom as territory, sovereign authority, dynastic rule (literal or figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, βασιλεία often denotes not merely a geographic kingdom but the active reign and sovereign authority of God or the Messiah. It conveys dynamic kingship—God’s ruling power breaking into history—rather than only a physical territory. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative, feminine, singular; functioning typically as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "kingship-realm" preserves the root connection to βασιλεύς (king) by emphasizing both royal authority (kingship/reign) and its sphere (realm). The accusative singular feminine form (βασιλείαν) is reflected as a definite, singular direct object—"the kingship-realm"—maintaining its grammatical function in context. |
