Greek semantic domain

Be a Believer, Christian Faith

It would be possible to classify the meanings in this subdomain as being essentially a part of the preceding Subdomain source subdomain 031009. The meanings in Subdomain source subdomain 031010, however, have an added semantic component of believing a particular set of truths or trusting a particular person, namely, Christ. Especially in absolute or semi- absolute contexts, it seems far better to treat these meanings as a separate category rather than employing elaborate ellipses. There is also a sense in which the meanings in Subdomain source subdomain 031010 relate closely to Domain source subdomain 034, since adherence to a particular set of beliefs implies a special interpersonal relation to God or Christ.
