SIBI-P1 G5486-01

the grace-gift

Rootχάρισμα (chárisma)
Core Meaningsgrace-gift, favor-bestowal, gracious endowment, freely-given benefit
Semantic Rangea gracious gift, divine favor concretely expressed, spiritual endowment, special enablement, deliverance granted by grace
Conceptual SignificanceIn the New Testament, χάρισμα emphasizes that spiritual abilities and salvific benefits originate in divine grace rather than human merit. It underscores the gracious initiative of God in granting life, service-capacity, and deliverance to His people.
Morphological NotesNoun, neuter, nominative singular (NNS) and accusative singular (ANS) forms attested; neuter singular noun functioning as subject or direct object.
Rendering Rationaleχάρισμα derives from χάρις (grace, favor) and denotes something given as an expression of grace. Rendering it "the grace-gift" preserves the explicit connection to grace rather than using the more generic "gift." The morphology (neuter nominative/accusative singular) is reflected by the singular form "gift" with the definite article, suitable for either subject or direct object usage in context.
