ἁγίων

hágios

saints

Primarily, ἅγιος denotes that which is set apart from the ordinary for a special, often divine, purpose; hence, 'dedicated' or 'consecrated.' In extended contexts, it also signifies moral purity, ritual cleanness, or uprightness, describing persons, objects, places, or times that are regarded as distinct from the everyday through association with the divine or the sacred. Thus, it encompasses both the idea of being set apart to the divine realm and, secondarily, being pure or worthy due to that special status.

the consecrated thing

Morphological NotesAdjective used substantively; accusative singular neuter (ANS), also attested in genitive masculine plural forms in related occurrences.
Rendering Rationaleἅγιον is accusative singular neuter of ἅγιος, functioning substantivally. The neuter singular points to a consecrated object or reality, so "the consecrated thing" preserves both its set-apart root sense and its grammatical form.
