    DefinitionShort: the universe as the product of God’s activity in creation
    Glosses: ['universe', 'creation', 'what was made']
    Comments: The meaning of κτίσις[c] might very well be treated as a simple derivative of the verb {L:κτίζω} ‘to create’ ({D:42.35}), since the reference is to the result of God’s creative act. However, in a number of contexts, the process of creation is no longer focal, and what is in focus is the total physical universe. In some languages the meaning may be best expressed as ‘the world and all that is in it’ or even ‘everything that exists.’

    DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:κτίζω} ‘to create,’ {D:42.35}) a human institution or social structure as something which has been created
    Glosses: ['institution', 'structure']
    Comments: It is possible that κτίσις in {S:06000201300008} may have the implication of authorized institution. It might even be possible to render κτίσις in such a context as ‘authority’ (compare {L:κτίσις}[e] in {D:37.43}).

    DefinitionShort: an instituted authority, with the implication that such an authority has been created or formed
