| Semantic Range | ordered arrangement, adornment, the structured universe, the inhabited earth, humanity collectively, the present world system (often in moral contrast to God) |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical theology, κόσμος can refer to the created and ordered universe, humanity within it, or the present moral order in rebellion against God. Its root sense of structured arrangement underscores the idea of creation as an ordered system, whether viewed positively as God’s creation or negatively as a fallen world-system. |

| Rendering Rationale | κόσμος fundamentally denotes an ordered arrangement or adorned system, which came to signify the world as a structured whole. Rendering it "ordered-world" preserves the root sense of arrangement and structure, while "of" reflects the genitive masculine singular form (GMS), indicating possession, source, or relation. |
