SIBI-P1 G2549-01
badness (feminine singular; in dative forms: to/with/by badness)
| Root | κακία (kakia) |
| Core Meanings | badness, depravity, malignity, moral corruption, harmful intent |
| Semantic Range | moral evil, depravity, malicious intent, spite, corruption of character, harmful disposition, trouble caused by wickedness |
| Conceptual Significance | κακία denotes the inner quality of moral corruption that manifests in harmful or malicious actions. In biblical theology it often contrasts with goodness and sincerity, highlighting the internal disposition that stands opposed to the character and holiness of God. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative feminine singular (NFS) and dative feminine singular (DFS) forms attested. The -ία ending marks an abstract quality derived from the adjective κακός (bad). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "badness" preserves the direct connection to the root κακός (bad, evil) and keeps the abstract quality inherent in the -ία suffix. The nominative feminine singular form denotes "badness" as a subject or quality, while the dative feminine singular forms convey association or means ("to/with/by badness"), reflecting the grammatical case distinctions present in the morphology. |
