Rootβασιλεία (basileía)
Core Meaningskingship, royal rule, reign, realm, sovereignty
Semantic Rangeroyal rule, reign, kingship, dominion, kingdom as territory, sovereign authority, dynastic rule (literal or figurative)
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesGr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative, feminine, singular; functioning typically as a direct object in the clause.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
