καινῷ
kainós
new
New, with reference to quality rather than age; something not previously existing, unused, or different in nature from what was before. Especially denotes newness in the sense of freshness, innovation, or transformation, rather than simply being recent in time. Can refer to a new order, a new covenant, or a new creation, focusing on the distinctive, fresh, or superior nature of what is new.

SIBI-P1 Translation G2537-06
to a new kind
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (substantive use), dative neuter singular; denotes something qualitatively new functioning in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the dative neuter singular form, indicating relation or reference "to" something characterized as new in quality. "New kind" preserves the qualitative emphasis of καινός over mere recentness in time. |
