ἁγίαις
hágios
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.

| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative feminine plural (Gr,AA,,,,DFP); attributive form modifying a feminine plural noun or functioning substantivally. |
