SIBI-P1 Translation G2889-01
to the ordered world
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS): indicating indirect object, sphere, or relation; singular, masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of κόσμος as an ordered or arranged whole, while reflecting the dative masculine singular form with "to the." It maintains the conceptual link between order and the world as a structured totality. |
