of the writings
| Root | γραφή (graphē) |
| Core Meanings | writing, written record, document, sacred writing, scripture |
| Semantic Range | a written document, legal record, public notice, sacred text, a specific passage of holy writ, the collected sacred writings |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, γραφή comes to denote the sacred written texts of Israel, emphasizing their nature as divinely authorized written records. The term underscores the authority and permanence of what has been inscribed, grounding teaching and doctrine in the written revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Primary form: noun, genitive, feminine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP,) — "of the writings." One occurrence reflects the cognate verb γράφων: present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS,) — "writing" or "the one writing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine plural form (GFP) is rendered "of the writings," preserving the plural number and genitive case while retaining the root sense of written records derived from γράφω (to write). This keeps the concrete sense of written documents rather than abstracting the term into a technical title. |
